Hero...?

Bet $2, fold to a raise? Check through?

Check through, I dont see anyone calling a value bet here. Most likely your only callers have you beat.

Bet $2 and fold to a substantial raise. 2 pairs and sets will pay you off, as well as overpairs and AJ.

Yuck. Throwing money away. Any of the hands you mentioned are betting by the turn. Flush and a 9 are what Hero is combatting right now. Check/call up to a $2 bet. Check/fold to a bigger bet.

Check through, you don't want to be put to the test on this hand. You have a good hand, just not a monster. Easy to make mistakes against a raise.

Why not bet out flop? I know OOP, but only one over and the flush draw. Against 3 others, all who are in LP and BB, never know, you might take it down.

Betting the turn is also an option, but I would consider (maybe do it 50% of the time) betting the flop. Bet $2 and check it down if called. Maybe chip spewing, but I'd consider it based on the players.

I can't argue against betting out on the flop.. if someone plays one of their draws aggressively, good for them - they'll get me to fold. I kind of like betting the turn also. I had been fairly aggressive, so I thought I'd check and widen the range of hands people would bet. Of course.. uhhhh.. if no one bets.. that doesn't really work...

Ok, I'm sold on checking through the river.
