Would you lead out here or check raise knowing that it will be at least raised if not re-raised by the time it gets back to you.

If you know that it will be raised and reraised, you may as well get the party started. If you're worried about disguising your hand, a bet out does the job better than a cold cap.

Re: Maximum extraction in huge pot

I didnt notice it was 5/10. I have to think they would be a little more aggro and less likely to fold to aggression when they are the ones being aggro. Betting the flop is a viable option since anyone with a flush draw is coming anyway and they would be right to call for 3 cold I think. Since you cannot protect your hand on the flop or the turn (had you not made your hand) I would have immediately started raising with a check/3-bet on the flop.

I would try to cap the flop and lead the turn. Once you boat up cap everywhere. Only click bet or raise post flop after the initial check.
