I wouldn't bet the flop. Anyone with deacent club will call you.

wtf? so you never bet if you think people call you? wow you must never bet at all.
heres a hint - to make money at poker, we need to bet, and our opponents have to call.

Right, but in this case it seems like checking behind with position isn't terrible. Since this is a multi-way pot, on this board you're getting calls either from a draw or a justifiably cautious better A, and all you're really doing is building a pot with TPNK when practically half the deck scares you. Why not check behind and bet the turn if checked to you again on a blank when they won't be getting odds to call with a bare club? Or, in this case, since you hit two pair, you can raise the turn if bet into. If a scare card (club/K/T/maybe Q or J too) comes and there's action ahead of you, I'm ok letting this hand go.
