Check/Fold the River here?

I bet out - I felt that there was a really good chance it was a wasted dollar right after I made the bet.

And yes, this is also kind of a bad-beat, sobbing-on-shoulder-during-a-downswing post.

I think you bet this river. Fold to the three bet though.

i really hate folding in a pot this size with a hand as good as a set, i would probably check call the river just to get to the showdown, if my hand is good one in some really small percentage since this pot is so big the call is profitable

What if there had been no 3bet? Do you call a river raise?

I would check/raise the turn since BB will trap UTG for you.

I check the river, call or overcall a bet. If its bet and then raised I swear under my breath, fold and come to 2+2 and make a online poker is rigged post.

This is generic, withouth a read I'd be hard pressed to belive the isnt an ace out there. I'd need a good read to waste 2 more big bets on this river.
