I don see many fe on this board, cbet or not to cbet?
For me it is a must bet. You have value against random overcards, you need to protect against them and if you get it heads-up you have a nice bet for free showdown on the turn. You're in position and probably ahead. I would always bet here.
the board sucks but i'd stick to the default line bet/fold on this board. you are ahead against some overcard hands like JT QJ KJ KQ etc and you have an easy fold to a raise but if you check and somebody bets, you might fold the winning hand. that might even happen when you get checkraised but less likely than when you check behind. people use to feel more invited to bet with any drawing hand as when you bet your whole range. when you check your range is quite narrowed down to any Ax Kx hand that does give up.
