Default Hand #2 -- How To Maximize One\'s Nuts On The Turn In Wild Game?

10-20 (1/2 kill) local B&M game. As described in Hand #1, LAGs and a maniac are creating the Perfect Storm, where pots are routinely $300-$500. 5-7 seeing the flop for two, three and four bets with three to the river.

Kill on super LAG CO. UTG limps, maniacal MP calls, MP2 calls, Hero in CO-1 with A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] makes a dubious call, knowing that the super LAG CO will likely raise, which he does. LAG Button reraises, Blinds fold, everyone calls, including Hero (?!?). 6 players -- 19.5 small bets.

Flop is Q [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] T [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 7 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

Checked around to button, who bets. UTG calls, MP2 calls, Hero calls, everyone else folds. 4 players -- 23.5 small bets.

Turn is K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Checked to Hero, who bets (?!?), button calls, other two players fold. 2 players -- 14 big bets.

River is 2 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

Hero bets, button calls.

Better to check the turn, hoping button will bet and other two players will call, and then checkraise or better to bet out on the turn? At first, I was kicking myself for not going for the checkraise, but button who had pocket rockets said after the hand that he would have checked the turn anyway.

Any thoughts welcome.
