I think in this particular situation where I have gutshot + flush draw, it's pretty clear that I bet. Is it that clear though? And would you take the free card if the action was the same and the that 7 of hearts was a 5 of hearts giving my just a flush draw and no gutshot?

It's close, but I say take the free card. I don't think you have enough opponents to value bet even if an ace is good and a nine gets you the whole pot (I may be wrong, maybe somebody can run it on twodimes or poker stove). And they're not folding a better hand.

Take the free card.

I thinks it close, but I would check because I don't want to get check/raised and I don't think I will win without a showdown.

Check, mp2 will likely not fold a pair and sb called 2 cold.

Seems like an easy check. I doubt you can win this one without a showdown, and you don't want to get checkraised.

Against 3 opponents on turn, you've got no real semi-bluffing potential, I suppose you may have enough pot equity to bet, but I would definetly take the free card as you could get raised which would be bad.
