just straightforward bet. that's the plan here.

this kind of thinking, in this particular situation, trying to get tricky, has a place in no-limit. in limit - the possible extra gain doesn't compensate for the possible bad things. in this particular situation.

here's one example of a bad thing. say you're up against Q7 (hit two pair) and 55 and Q7 checks too. and the turn is a 5. the pot is huge in both cases but you only get it leading out.

that's just one example, but the idea remains the same.

just bet - it's straightforward. don't try to eek out an extra bet or two at the risk of giving up the huge pot here.
know that most of the time no one will have anything, and you won't make much money anyway.

if so, rinse, repeat, get rewarded at a later time and place.
