i checked the turn thinking that i would call any bet. i think from one of the replies of one of my previous posts somebody suggested that i bet if i inted on calling a bet. i did pick up the flush draw, but a K had me beat. is the turned nut-flush draw a good enough reason to bet the turn here?

How about check raising the turn? I think check calling is silly, you probably still have the best hand and a draw to a better one.

Check the turn. You may be ahead, you may be behind. There are only 2 other players in the pot with you, so there is not enough of an overlay to justify betting your draw for value. Also, if you bet and are raised, you are hating it and essentially charging yourself to draw (which you are essentially doing anyway with only 2 other people in the pot on the draw with you.) I think this is a clear check-call.

I think thats an easy turn bet. Nobody has shown any sort of agression, your jack could easily be best and you can easily withstand any raise with your monster flush draw.

There is nothing in the flop action that indicates that hero is behind here. Even if he isn't he has up to 14 outs. I'd bet here.
