maximum extraction?

After a 6 buyin downswing im pretty much desperate to get paid here. How do you play this turn? Risk a check? my image is kinda laggy to many players here. edit: unfortunately i didnt reload in time from prev hand...

bet $5 again. Get value while pricing everyone in.

Bet, maybe 1/2 pot like it's top pair or something. Build the pot, give them opportunity to CR or pay for drawing dead to straight or flush. Don't slowplay - checking behind is a waste of street it that case.

given the flop action, i think a check is good here. Best case scenario someone bluffs at the pot and you come over the top, and if its checked down you can still value bet the river.

Bet again. If everyone is calling a 5 dollar bet on the flop, some are going to call again on the turn. Lead for half pot.

8$

I like $5. I think it shows a little weakness where one of those guys might go overthe top. Plus, many of those guys will call. even if 3 call it means you got $15. Hopefully one of them makes that straight ot has KJ

One more vote for $5 ... if you've been loose up and until now ... somebody's gotta believe you have TPTK because ... you certainly would have bet more with a 7.
