i don't think you can win this with a bet, or clean up any outs.

I take the free turn card. I don't think our hand is best often enough to bet the turn so we get a free SD on the river with this many players in the pot. Additionally, we aren't folding better hands for 1 bet in this big pot.

Additionally, there is some non-zero chance of being c/r'd, wwhich would cost us.

Also, if the field were smaller I'd be inclined to bet the turn nearly regardless of holding, given the action. I just think there are too many players, someone is going to call you with a junk pair.

My thoughts exactly. I almost went for it since it's likely at least 2 players have [censored]. I could be ahead here once in a while and I have a great draw. But 4 players is too many. Here is the real hand.

Raise or call?

Check behind on turn is good. Go for overcalls on the river, your hand looks like a big ace, and he's still betting into you. If you raise ur hand is even more transparent, allowing others to make an easy fold when they may have called.

Edit: Sorry, didnt answer the OP. You are indeed sexy.

I go for overcalls on the river. 2 pair won't miss a 3bet because it's obvious your hand is a big, 1 pair ace. SB/BB will call with junk pairs (same problem as turn).
