Bet $25. If they have an A or better, you will find out. Give up on turns that don't improve our hand.
Checking and basically giving up unless things get better is OK, too.

it makes it much more readable when you include the pot size for each street.
adding the pot size to each street will also help you think about the hand.
The pot is ~60 and V1 only has 83 left. I hate to give up so easily, but I think checking is going to be better than betting and checking through isn't horrible since we're not playing for stacks.

Because you're up against two nits, I think I like a check here. If they bet you can easily fold. But you most likely have the best hand and they won't be able to call a turn bet with the threat of another river bet to come. Checking and betting small OTR probably gets you paid.

How about $20 on turn to get value from OESD, crying call QT,JT. If river bricks, same bet again or check/eval. to induce from whiffed draws?

the problem with betting is we are probably folding to any raise.

If I check the turn and it checks through, I'm checking the river, too (unless I improve). They are only calling with better and we have showdown value.

If we checked the turn we 100% have to bet most rivers.
We will look very fos and we will definitely looked up by all worse 10s and a bunch of second pair type hands.

I'd bet/fold $30 on the turn. Limped pot, both opponents can have a wide range including draws, worse tens, and may have picked up clubs.
If called, depends on river card, but mostly checking, possibly check/calling depending on size of bet and card, and often, river goes check check.
If our opponents are tight or nitty, do they have a lot of Ax hands in their range that limp pre and call a flop bet? The A doesn't hit a lot of nits here (except exactly AT) so it feels pretty safe to bet.
