Live cash game – 9 handed table – blinds $.50 & $1.00

Approximate stack sizes of those involved in the hand:

SB: $35
BB: (hero) $150
UTG: $270
BTN: $120

Dealt to BB (hero) 6c, 9h

SB: posts $.50
BB: posts $1.00
UTG: calls $1.00
5 players fold
BTN: calls $1.00
SB: calls $.50
BB: Checks

Pot size: $400

Flop: 10d, 8h, 7s

SB: Checks
Hero?

OK, so I flopped the nuts here. The thing is, this is where my poker game needs the most improvement. What is the best bet for me to make in this situation to get value out of my hand?

My reads are the SB and the BB are fairly tight, solid players. I don’t see either of them calling any bet unless they hit the flop pretty hard. The BTN is another story though – I think he’s my best chance at getting some value so long as I bet appropriately.

2nd nuts. And the flop is so co-ordinated that leading for ~90% of the pot is probably best.

Right, I forgot about the J,9...

Which I guess you can tell no one had it since it never crossed my mind when I posted this thread...

Just lead out for whatever. Flop is super coordinated so you'll get alot of action from draws, pair + draws etc,. You can't get cute on a flop like this because a ton of cards will completely kill action.

If you flop a straight and nobody has anything then you aren't ever going to be able to get value.

^^ This, in a case like this just assume they have enough to go along with strong betting as the hand basically plays itself at that point. If they have two pair or set someone is going broke, if everyone else missed they are folding you aren't going to be able to trap them for much more to make it worth the effort.
