Best play: Check-raise 4x
Why
Bottom set on this wet, draw-saturated board prefers check-raising to deny equity to flush and straight draws and to build the pot now, since slowplaying invites cheap free cards and a jam is too large versus a 33% c‑bet.
Key idea
On dynamic, draw-heavy boards, raise your sets for value and protection instead of slowplaying.
