There's a lot of villians in the pot. Should we take a stab at the pot on the turn? Our hand is going to be pretty transparent when we spring to life on a club river. That is if we don't bet this turn.

At first I wrote why betting this turn is marginally bad but I've changed my mind after thinking about it...

On one side, the 2c couldn't have helped you unless you have a flush draw or 22 so you may not have much FE, lucky for you nobody has much. On the other side you likely have at least 12 outs to win this pot and sometimes up to 15 with your pairing outs since they are going to be good a good % of the time.
