hmm some different takes on it here.

I do have a second part to this hand which ill post 2m.

agree there aint no 8-9 out draws on us. wouldnt a bet of half the pot entice even more to play at me or just call. leaving me in a bit of a pickle.

Yet a 2/3-PSB is awkward too by bloating the pot OOP with threat of a few callers.

Miffed check/call line?? hmm. what if one bets and you get 2 callers (so 3 opp in for say $6 each) or just vs one opp (still c/c)
