With no flush draw out, I'm fairly sure my hand is way ahead of the others in pot.

In this situation, what do you usually do?

Thanks.

if u were to check, wat are u expecting to happen? What would ur plan be later on in the hand? What happens when u check raise the turn? Lead the turn?

What do villians think u have if u were to bet?

I think you should bet a strange amount. You could bet something small, like 175 or 200. Or you could bet big like 550. Either way, if you're called, you should check behind the turn, this will induce some good action.

I should add that not betting is bad. Not because you may let someone draw out on you, or hit their trips, etc. But because you are trying to build a pot, and you were the pfr, so check-raising reveals your hand.

If you knew more about your opponents, check/call is a possible line. But against unknowns, betting is superior.

Bet half the pot on the flop and the turn and get it all in on the river.
