Quiz 1: Ace-Jack out of position in a multiway pot

The Situation: You are playing a full ring $2/$4 NL Hold 'em cash game at your local casino. So far, play has been very loose, with lots of pre-flop raises and mostly multi-way pots.

Player A makes it $15 to go from middle position. The cutoff and the button, who both have deep stacks and have been calling a lot of raises in and out of position, make the call. From the Big Blind, you look down and find:
Ace of Hearts Jack of Spades
You decide to call and the flop comes
Ten of HeartsNine of HeartsAce of Spades
There is $62 in the pot and you lead out with a $50 bet. Player A folds, and both remaining players quickly call.
The turn card pairs the board with the Ten of Clubs
There is now $212 in the pot and you have $200 left in your stack.

What is your move? Do you:

a) Bet half the pot

b) Make a pot sized bet (go all in)

c) Check, with the intention of calling unless it gets bet and raised

d) Check, with the intention of folding to any large bet
