OESD's checked to in position - do you bet these?

[scrapperdog]

Not betting usually a mistake unless a pfr is behind you or you have bad position. Not only do you have a big draw, you might take the pot down right now. You cant live in fear of a check raise. Dont go crazy, dont overbet, just do a normal 2/3 pot or whatever.

Besides taking the pot down betting might buy you position and the chance to take a free card on turn if you chose. I bet 75% of the time with these hands.

One of the times I dont try and take the pot down is if I have J-10 and the flop is KQX. That probably hit someone, and a re-raise is a strong possibility. If flop is 8-9-2 for example I bet it. You take it down at least half the time, and even if you dont you have outs.
