You more than likely have the best hand, bet it.

You are right. It is likely he has the best hand. It is also likely that villian has QT, QK, KT. He's going to fold these hands if you bet. You check to induce a bluff.

Also, if villian has Ax, he's going to bet the river after you check so you aren't missing any value there. If he raises the river after you lead you get to puke and call. Waste of 1BB. What is he going to raise with besides a jack? You don't want to call that.

edit: if you're betting, it's a bet/fold. but who wants to bet/fold on this board!??! If maybe there were a 4 flush out there or something I would bet fold, but wtf. I want to see showdown here.
