I definitely think you have to check and call a single bet here. Your best bet for making anymore money in this hand is to induce a bluff. A value bet is bad. It might work sometimes, but not often enough.

A flush will not fold here (esp. to you who has done everything to show that you've been betting a made hand, and not a draw, from preflop onward). On one hand people are saying, "It's likely that no one has a club, so bet for value." However, your opponent is supposed to think when he has a flush, "Someone else definitely has a club and it's certainly higher than mine. Thus I'll fold." Seems a bit like wishful thinking.

I just don't see a value bet as +EV against two opponents here. Sure they may not have a club, but when they call you they will (more often then not). Plus if you bet and get raised, you risk either paying off a flush or being bluffed out of the pot.

When you check, however, you give your opponents a chance to bluff. If I bet and I'm called, it's more likely I'm beat than if I check and face a bet. The added chance of a bluff gives me more equity.
