I think I would check the flop as you did and then bet 200 on the turn to look like a steal and hope for a re-raise or caller. My reasoning is if the pot grows on the turn you can get paid alot more on the river.

This is one of the rare cases where slowplaying on the flop is correct. But even if the turn card was unlikely to help any of your opponents I would have bet it to get some chips into the pot for a bigger value bet on the river. It just happens that you flop a monster and none of your opponents has a second best hand good enough to continue. You could have made some more chips, but not that much more.

You can make a bet of like 40 or 50 on the flop. Anybody with two face cards, an Ace or a Queen will call you, building a pot early. If these guys don't have any of these hands, they aren't calling anywhere anyways, so you might as well start building early.

As played, you absolutely have to bet the turn to get some money in. Do you notice the Button over-called on the river with a busted flush draw, 4-3 high??? He would have paid you on the turn to draw to his flush.

You're probably not getting paid regardless. It's not that you played the hand poorly or slowplayed too long, they just probably didn't have anything good enough to call with. With that kind of flop, I'm actually more inclined to bet on the flop hoping that it just looks like a continuation bet, and then maybe check the turn and let them hang themselves. You're not likely to win a very big pot since you have most of the cards that would connect with that board anyway, and by betting, anybody that actually did catch a piece is going to be coming along anyway.

If you have any history on Bozic #1 at all I probably shove on the turn.....lol. How does he call on the river? And once he calls I don't know how the next guy can think his 7's are any good for the overcall

More seriously though. Bet something on the turn. You can only hope your opponents have a litle something and are willing to chase.
