is UTG a horrible player? what's he calling with? My guess is spades or a straight draw, but only because I'm terribly confused by his line.

Given his history in this hand, I'm tempted to lead this as well, so that utg can continue to pad the pot.

I can't do it though, because button's like looks like two pair or a set, so we're rooting for the board to pair on the river - and even then we could be sunk.

I don't think a bet is terrible (he could be pumping a draw or overplaying top pair) but I'd probably just check. Against an unknown, I'm inclined to believe he's got 98s or a set. If he's a super-LAG I think a bet is OK. Especially since the third guy is probably drawing.

With two people in the hand I'm not liking my one pair without reads. I'm calling down here rather than betting. I think someone is on a draw perhaps even a strong OESD + flush draw or already has a set. I think UTG has a badly played KQ or possibly AK (or 99? but you would think that he wouldn't be calling on the flop) and the button either has a set or a strong draw. Hard to say without reads.

I bet this turn. I definitely dont want that pot getting checked through and think that we have villain beat. If we don't we mavy have some outs to catch on the river.

The pot's big on the flop so UTG could be calling with a lot of stuff. I think we have better than 33% equity here.

I bet/call. KQ/KJ are definitely possible. So is some lagtastic play with a draw.
