FWIW, I think the answer to this question is easy so I'm just posting it to see if I'm still sane because sometimes you never know.

Party Poker 0.5/1 Hold'em (10 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)

Preflop: Hero is CO with J/images/graemlins/heart.gif, T/images/graemlins/heart.gif.

Flop: (5 SB) T/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, J/images/graemlins/club.gif, 7/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="blue">(4 players)</font>
SB checks, UTG+2 checks, MP2 checks, <font color="CC3333">Hero bets</font>, SB folds, UTG+2 folds, MP2 calls.

Bet it?

I'm looking forward to the "obvious" answer!

I think I bet here. I'm ahead of TPTK, and although a check-raise is a reasonable play with the completed straight, I think most people bet this straight.

The question is do I fold to the check-raise or make a crying call? Probably fold, I guess.

Bet and pitch it if he checkraises you.

Fold getting 8.5:1? Don't you think a lot of AK's on Party .5/1 play this that way?

Folding may be right, but if I bet and got CRed I know I would call with no read on the guy. People get froggy on the river a lot, especially if its scary like that.
