I would definitely come in for a bet. I hate risking something like that and letting somebody hit their flush for free.
I would bet something in the neighbourhood of 1/2 the pot size to the pot size. Hopefully this will scare off somebody chasing their flush, but keep around somebody that thinks their top pair, or overpair is good.
That's what I would do, but it's hard to determine the right move to get maximum value out of the nuts.
On the other hand, you could definitely check the nuts, and sucker somebody into betting into you on the turn. You could then make a smooth call, or come in for the raise (depending on whether or not the turn makes 3 to the flush on the board).
Like you said, there are many ways to play this hand. I would come in for a good sized bet though |
