Flopped nuts - How should I play turn and river?

Party Poker 2/4 Hold'em (10 handed) converter

Quite average Party 2/4 game, UTG is real fishy, loose-passive style.

Preflop: Hero is UTG+2 with Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
UTG calls, UTG+1 folds, Hero raises, MP1 folds, MP2 folds, MP3 folds, CO folds, Button folds, SB calls, BB calls, UTG calls.

Flop: (8 SB) J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (4 players)
SB bets, BB calls, UTG calls, Hero raises, SB calls, BB calls, UTG calls.

Turn: (8 BB) J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (4 players)
SB bets, BB calls, UTG calls, Hero calls.

The turncard is pretty scary... Should i fold here?

River: (12 BB) T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (4 players)
SB checks, BB checks, UTG checks, Hero checks.

The river cards makes the bord even more scary. There's no way I can bet here even though everyone checks, right?

Final Pot: 12 BB

NEVER EVER FOLD THIS TURN! The aggressor has a far greater chance of holding trip J's or an overpair than a full house. In fact, I would probably raise here.

I agree completely. Raise the turn, don't even think about folding it.

Double-paired board on the river...that's worth checking through. You're more likely to get raised than called if you do bet.

I'd say both the turn and the river should give you pause, but neither is particularly scary in light of the betting, to-wit:

On the turn, the only concern is that somebody is sitting on JJ and now has four. This isn't the WSOP, the average 2/4 Party player isn't going to slow-play a set of jacks, it's not there.

Similar logic on the river, only moreso. You're the only one raising, nobody else is even close to your hand.

Get as many bets in on this hand as you can. You left money on the table.
