Hero checks. You're in EP, and you want to see what kind of pot odds you get & what kind of action goes on before you act yourself. And if it checks around, great!

You could also consider a blocking bet of, say, 50% of the pot. However, this is an action flop! And your blocking bet will likely get raised.

Dont think we can afford to lead out here as we could quickly end up raised and facing a big bet. Check here and evalate when it comes back around. If we are facing a large bet by then, it doesnt matter if we fold since we have vp$ip so we wont be losing out.

Just check and hope for a check around

you're getting over 4:1 here where you're likely the favorite (remember it was limped preflop). We have 12 outs here that give us the nuts or the nuts minus a straight flush (one out, the T of clubs, actually has us beat by a full boat) to them. Even with no implied odds, this is an easy call. We need 20% and we're getting ~25% plus anything we can get if we hit.

I think raising only removes potential customers, and since you're drawing to the nuts, we have no real need to thin the field. Just call, keep everyone around, and see what the turn brings.

Bet out or check to the caller?
I have this guy pegged as a call station, btw.

If he's a calling station, then bet. Its $10NL, so you'll still get calls even though the action killer came, especially if you think he's a calling station. If you think he's a sane, thinking opponent, then you can check this off and try to get called down light on the river, but even then, in most situations, I think the best line is to bet out at this limit, just because a lot of players will still hold on to two pair.

This might be different if Kaneslam570 was the one left in the hand.

Oh, and if he has an ace, and its likely to be a split pot, you still want to bet, since you'd be freerolling on the possibility of hitting your flush.
