You play it dependant on the many factors that you have to consider

generally, in my opinion, its better to check here and react to what happens.. because you are OOP in a multi way pot...

However, it is sometimes correct to bet out... it depends on the action preflop, your image, your opponants playing styles etc..

If you do bet out, sometimes on an agressive table you could simply be wasting chips... (although i wouldnt hesitate to bet out with the made trips on an agressive table from this postion... Also bet sizing is important. there is no point betting 20 into a 120 pot for example, it doesnt do anything.

Gl, sorry i cant be more specific, if you have the hand you are refering to put it on the stratgy section and im sure you will get some good advice from this community...

 I favour the check as well in this situation. The main thing to remember is that you have not hit 2 pair but have one pair on a paired board.

  With 4 people seeing the flop and the fact that people like to play any high cards then you can safely assume that someone has flopped a very big draw, with KQ or Q9. Also though not likey there is the possibilty of someone holding a jack in which case you are drawing very thin indeed.

  A check works well for me so you can see what happens after you and then you can decide what to do when someone bets out based on any reads you have on them
