you're way ahead here, so against two really weak looking boards and one overcard you could check... wait for someone to improve to two pair (average 7th strett hand in stud hi), and get some value on later streets if someone makes two small pair or even a pair of queens, kings, etc

I once saw a hand like this... guy had KK showing on 4th, checked it... typed "oops, wrong button, multi-tabling" in the chat box... and on 5th, one of the villains caught an Ace and lost a big pot with aces up... to the 3 kings

Standard u could have possible C/C and see if they improve on 5th.

You have to bet it, every time, and just TID. It might be unfortunate because your hand is so big, but next time let's say you raise with a mid pair in the hole (ex. 55) with a 9 up, you catch a 9 on 4th, you can get a split pair of kings out, depending on the player. I don't think a raise on third and a check when you pair your door card is fooling anyone.

Plus, there are tons of bets in that pot, and any possible larger pairs, are totally live. Just TID, it's a nice pot.
