Default Re: 99 flops set, but scary board

If they won't fold, then charge them two bets instead of one to continue. If they accept the less favorable odds you are offering them via a double bet the wager becomes more favorable to you. If the odds they accept don't justify the call, you will then make money on them.

I don't get this line of reasoning at all. Who is going to bet the flop? Checking and having this checked through and giving a free card is criminal. You must lead out here. With a board this draw heavy a c/r will not protect your hand. Bet for value and build the pot - you have a big EV edge over your opponent's possible holdings.

Without a read I'd call this river, but I wouldn't be holding my breath. Pray he has 55.
