It sucks, but you MUST raise the turn. When the pot is silly out of control it's not time to think about saving bets. It's time to think about doing everything possible to maximize your chance of taking down the pot. Then suck it up and tell the idiot that capped it with 92o and cracked your cowboys "nice hand" knowing that in the long run you'll crush him like a grape.

Given the river card + action it doesn't look like this one went your way. A turn raise *might* have taken salty walty out of the pot...

lemme guess, salty had J8o
