Default 5/10 LO8 -- cap turn with nut straight?

I'm doing this from memory, but I think I got all the important details right... Any comments appreciated.


Pacific 5/10 O/8, 8 handed, loose, somewhat aggressive table

UTG is a good player. Hasn't done anything stupid.

UTG+1 plays like a hold 'em player (doesn't worry about being quartered, thinks any set is a great hand)

BB is shortstacked (2 big bets) and probably on tilt

I'm in CO with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] and have been playing fairly straightforwardly.

UTG, UTG+1, and MP limp, MP+1 folds, I limp, button folds, SB folds, BB raises, everyone calls.

Flop is: Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

Everyone checks, I bet, BB raises (he's allin now), UTG re-raises, UTG+1 calls, MP calls, I call.

Turn is 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].

UTG bets, UTG+1 calls, MP calls, I raise, UTG 3 bets, UTG+1 calls, MP folds, I cap?

This is really where I'm unsure. I'm pretty certain when UTG 3 bets that he has at least KJ, probably AKJ, and possibly A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]KJx[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. I think UTG+1 has something, but it could be just a set or even 2 pair.

So, unless a non-heart K or J hits the river and UTG doesn't have an Ace, I think my best case scenario is a split with UTG. If the board pairs or a heart comes on the river, things don't look so good for me.

But if UTG+1 is playing a set/flush draw, I want him to put in as much money as possible on the turn, right?

Do you cap the turn here or wait for a safe river card and hope UTG+1 keeps putting money in when UTG and you bet and raise?
