Hero ???

The two benefits I see to leading out here are that if two people just made the nut low, I can quarter them, and if no one made the nut low, I may be able to fold out better lows and scoop the pot. My fear is that some [censored] might decide to shove with just the nut low, and I really don't want to call an all in hoping to split.

In a fairly small multiway pot, worse high hands than mine probably aren't betting even if it is checked all the way around to them, but could interpret my bet as a nut low that just got there and decide to call a smallish bet in the hopes of splitting. However, they could easily still have a better low and split the other way.

The river will very likely be checked around unless someone made the nut low, in which case there may be a substantial bet that I will have to call. So maybe leading out could be a sort of blocking bet to get a cheap showdown against the nut low and also occasionally a bluff to chase out better non-nut lows? But do I fold to a push, and if so, do I want to lead out in the first place?
