Default Big pair question in big pot

You got AA or KK and position raise on the button and get 5 callers and the flop comes something amazingly horrific.

Js, Ts, 9d

You bet out and get 4 callers.

The turn pairs the board with a 9d.

Do you still bet out even though your just asking for the check raise? I assume so even though you are probably beaten. But then you could check to see if you improve on 2 outs for the FH or check call if you dont saving bets. With so many people in the flop and the board pairing there is a high chance someone at least made trips or flopped a str8, not to mention flush chasers and bluffs on the turn.

I assume you mean the turn brings the 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

On a scary turn such as this, my standard play is to bet and fold to a raise. If you're ahead, worse hands will call you down. If you are raised, you are very likely behind.

First of all, you raise all hell with the casino, threaten to sue them for having a deck with two 9 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
Not an expert but I'll give it a shot. I think you bet and fold to a raise. I think You are just giving a lot of people a chance to beat you if they already haven't. This just sucks but I think checking is terrible. You may not have the best hand often, hell you still might, but infinity is so large and I think that you have it just often enough for this to be okay. Then again it could be infinite odds to your FH, I dunno, I give up. But I give up betting.
