I bet the flop almost every time, but it makes things very tricky against good players. Checking through makes the hand much simpler to play.

Two-tone flop with two cards in the playable range. Two opponents who called a substantial raise, including one who is loose and running hot (and therefore likely to give action with gutters and make moves with draws). I don't mind the check.

I like the turn raise.

On the river, one perhaps useful bet amount is enough to put the short stack allin. Say, half pot or so, 4K. Big stack will know that a bet of this size is not a bluff, and if he comes over the top you can fold. Downside is that this is an obvious value bet, but you may still get a loose call from a king or smaller two pair.

i don't mind the check either, but i also dont mind getting TT and JJ to fold.

[creedofhubris]

TT and JJ are usually raising preflop, not limp-calling. They might also call one bullet on the flop, particularly given AZK's LAGtacular style.

While he might get calls from worse hands (straight draws, 9x), I don't think he's going to fold out better ones by betting.

Check behind, you played it fine otherwise.
I bet the flop like 25-75% of the time though dependng on the villians, even though in this game, that percentage is probably on the lower side.
