Is this too weak to check this flop? Who calls the river?

Bet the flop, fold if you're raised. On the turn, bet again if you have 2 opponents or less. Otherwise, check/fold, because it is a protected pot with an A,K on board.

I like the flop check. If you bet, you're in a bad spot when you get ANY callers, since you really shouldn't be betting this turn.

I check/fold to an EP bet and raise a late position bet, and re-evaluate at the turn. To lead into this board is a little crazy. You have third pair and there's a big field, but there's a chance you still might have the best hand in a big pot.

It's a big pot and there is a chance you might have the best hand, so you should bet with TT, and reevaluate the on turn. With QQ, it may be a good idea to check the flop. But there is no guarantee another player will bet, and TT is more vulnerable to overcards.

Seeing as the flop was checked through, do you bet the turn? Do you c/c the river heads up? 3+ handed?
