What's the standard check and see thing?

Yeah, it's checking into a big field to see the action behind you. It's usually done with a TPNKish hand out of the blinds; you hope that a late position bettor will autolead if checked to and you'll raise for protection and value. You also get to ditch easily if there's multiple bets back to you.

The reason I'm asking is because we've got a much stronger hand here than most of the times that checking-and-seeing is correct. IMO we have a good enough amount of equity to value-bet; the only players not making a mistake to call with a gutshot are maybe MP3 and button (and only if everyone before them calls too). Plus it seems like we can get away from our hand pretty easily if things get ugly.
