Party 3/6.... do I go for the trifecta while trapping the whole field?

I suppose my subconscious reasoning was that if it was 100% sure CO would bet, it would be very likely he would raise after we bet too, and if it was 100% certain CO would raise, a bet from us is of course correct.

It would make the decision closer, but I still would check/raise. As said, facing the 2 other players with 2 cold will only help them to make the correct decision. Protecting our hand will only make hands that don't have the odds to call to fold, while check/raising will make these hands (gut-shots, pairs etc...) to call.
