Pretend to be BTN and/or UTG for one second, what is your range for flatting flop and then betting the turn if UTG+1 checks?
The worst hand I would bet the turn with if you check is 98ss for top two and then all the sets and 76ss for the nut straight.
I don't have KK/AA on BTN because I 3! pre and JJ is a bluffcatcher. UTG I'm torn between checking KK/AA OTT after seeing flop action with the intention of leading small on most rivers, and leading out 50% OTT. Either way, these hands beat you anyway. BTN I floated TT/A9ss (UTG I already mucked it) and these hands are bluffcatchers too.
You have huge protection against light turn bets because you clearly have an overpair at minimum, flop is 4 ways and SB is a huge fish who presumably hates folding.
