I'd bet 200 on the flop and then checkraise the turn.

I dislike a continuation bet here. Your line seems to get you busted every time your opponent has a T in his hand.

How many cards are left in the deck? How many of those are Ts? How often does your cbet win the pot? When your cbet gets raised, how often do you lose more money in this hand?

If I spend 200 on the flop to find out I'm beaten, I'm very happy with that investment. Or did you plan on checking down the river unless you happened to get runner-runner Aces?

See the thing is I doubt a continuation bet here is going to win you the pot outright. I raised preflop in an attempt to get this pot HU or win it outright, I failed. Yes I am willing to throw a cbet into a pot 3 handed but 4 handed with one left to act behind you is stretching it. I mean, don't you see donks all the time throwing their chips into the pot here with 88 or 99 or something of that ilk.

And the check raising the turn thing is only going to get you paid off by a ten.
