On the flop I would have raised a bet to my left or right. On the turn though, I kind of feel lost. This guy is trying to represent a flush but i'm certainly not going to fold top pair with queen kicker. However, should I have raised? A completed flush would most likely have went for a check-raise but you never know in these games. Furthermore, a raise exposed me to a reraise if he did have a flush but them again it might be a big bluff. Finally he might have been bluffing and a raise would have scared him off whereas in this case I can let him bluff the river and collect 2 big bets. Opinions?

No specific read unfortunately, however the table was generally pretty loose.

J9.

I think your line here is fine heads up, even though you're probably not way ahead, if you're ahead at all.
