I go back and forth on how to play this. My general rule is to check a hand like this on the flop. Whenever you have top set and the board has two to a wheel. I also don't bet if there is to to a flush.

I don't think there is anyway you can get an A4, A5, or 45 to fold in this spot. Even if you check raise. You might be able to get junky lows in this spot to fold.

I also generally want callers, ie the low chasers.

The generally bad scenario is that if you bet and someone raises then it's likely heads up. If any low card comes on the turn they are no freerolling you.

On the turn is when I'm looking to tax these people. If the board pairs or now low comes then you figure out whether to lead out or check raise.

Now once you lead off the flop and your raised. That screams wheel wrap to me. Slow down unless you make the nuts.

Just my thoughts
