Ok, so how about this one? Would you check or bet the flop? 9 outs for the flush, Ks and Js are probably not good because of the ace. 5-handed. What would you do?

It is an unraised pot. I *might* check and hope UTG bets. If so, call and hope you hit it on the turn. I just don't understand how you could bet out here when you're only going to hit your hand 35% of the time. You're certainly not going to get everyone to fold.

Now you can argue that this would be correct if you had AK [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] and a jack was the highest card.
