Hi, it's hard to decipher what your intentions are throughout these streets. When you check on an early street, like 5th, are you doing this because of range advantage and dead cards, for pot control, why? I could tell you youre right or wrong on a street, but I'm not sure if you're right for the right reasons or accidentally y'know?
Here's how I'd play multiple situations, assuming your board runs out the way it does:
3rd complete. 4th since we completed through a J repping a strong range and less of a steal, when we catch a suited card I'm still betting. 5th we bet 4th and 9 is a good card for our range, one 7 is dead and he's rainbow, so we're still betting. 6th, 7 and 2 is out which isn't great for the exact scenario, but our range wants to check and loves to see it check through typically, so we check, yes. 7th mix bets with cr depending on a bunch of stuff.
2nd situation
3rd complete. 4th we catch offsuit 3 instead of suited, now we check because our range has more combinations of suited stuff and unpaired connected cards that whiffed and his range has more things that like a 4. We will assume they bet and we call. 5th 9 is dead and we catch offsuit card so if we check they bet alot. 7 is also dead giving them fewer straights, we have multiple options now that all start with checking this street expecting a bet. We can cr, which is a little thin but fine given all of the removal, we can check call and delay cr to 6th depending on what we catch and what they catch. These are all examples of protecting our ranges and being balanced based on details
3rd situation
We're the last Jack instead of a jack that completed from earlier position through a jack, therefor we're effectively the steal and our range is weak. We catch the suited 3 but we have a hand way less here relative to the other position so we can check 4th, since on average his range is already stronger and improves more on this street, we call. 5th we can check and expect a bet again. This time with the 4 flush and pair we have a much higher frequency bordering on mandatory raise that can mix with a small % delayed cr on 6th. You can weigh the pros and cons of both. If you cc 5th youre def cr 6th.
Hope these examples made sense and helped
