Raise this OESD from EP against a paired board?

[Knoler]

I'm occasionally fuzzy on when I should be jamming the pot with a strong draw.

Pros: I have 8 outs to the nut straight, barring someone fishing the backdoor flush. I have 3 customers.

Cons: Paired board.

Thoughts?

Check. If a bet would fold these three often enough it would be worth it, but how often does that work after you get three callers on a disconnected rainbow board?

I agree check it. Your odds to draw for the gutshot is only correct if the guy to your left bets and everyone calls (so you have an 11BB pot). By checking you also see if anyone may have 9Ts or even JTs (althought I suspect they shouuld have been more action on the flop).

By betting, you could get raised by 9Ts and you would unlikely to get enough callers (to call 2 cold) to warrant a draw to the nut straight.

I'm not sure what's going on up there, but I'm not drawing to a gutshot, I've got an open ended straight draw (8 outs) and two overcards (6 outs to top pair, which may or may not be good).

Cool. I did check, as it turned out. Here's the rest of the hand -- does anyone try to checkraise on the river since MP3 showed strength on the turn?

At the time I decided I wanted to be sure and get my two bets in.
