I'm discovering that everyone at stars is a weaktight nit. Like everyone.

given the stack sizes and the strength of my hand, do I gain more value from betting or checking here?

even though I'm up against nits and I don't mind giving a free card?

i bet/call here. the only hand that youre a huge dog to is the flopped NF and its hard to flop the nuts.

[PubNub]

got to bet here. 2/3 pot.

you have to bet. If he called with something like AQ with a clubs your giving him a free draw.
checking is super weak.

You grossly overestimate how much action you can get on further streets in this hand.

If a club hits you will rarely stack 9/Txc. I don't think that when you check a bunch of randoms will think "ZOMG he doesn't have a flush QT is good now!" I think most hands that will give you action later, also give you action now.

i think your hand is way to strong to worry about inducing bluffs. you'll usually make more money just taking the straightforward approach with hands this good and saving the sneaky for more marginal hands that you don't want to play a huge pot with anyway.

bet 3.70 and be happy if CO pushes

if you check and the turn is a flush, i think you lose major value from someone with qk right there, or even aj-- i just can't find myself checking this because i don't feel like i'll gain value out of worst hands down the road
