Default Re: Extracting value from the nuts.

In general:

Multiway Pot + Out of Position = Aggressive, Straightforward Play.

Cap the flop now, as long as everyone is still interested. Bet the turn and hope the board doesn't pair and you get raised somewhere. Betting often allows you to get more bets in than check-raising or slowplaying, because it encourages players with sets and such to play back at you. In limit hold'em, where we only have a few chances to get money in (in incremental amounts) forgoing opportunities to do so in order to be "tricky" or "deceptive" is often a big failure when up against another very good but inferior hand.
