Ouch. Not the card I wanted to see. It's checked to me. I have 9 outs to the nut flush and 2 outs to a set of kings if they don't have a flush. I checked and took a free card but I'm not sure if that would be the right play. I'm almost positive one of them would have an ace though and is looking for that check-raise. It would suck to have to pay 2 BB's to see the river.

I would bet, because I probably have the best hand and if I get raised I still have plenty of outs.

[kurosh]

If you bet and they call, what do you do on a river blank?

[kurosh]

Anyone else?

[Nick Royale]

I check. They could have been on a worse flushdraw, in which case they will not call. Can't see many worse hands call here.

It's very important to note what level you're playing for a SnG.

Against passive opponents, I think betting the turn is better. Most players don't dare to check-raise a pre-flop 3-bettor in this case even if they have an ace, but checking might induce a bluff on the river (making it hard to fold to a bet on the river if you check the turn, but easy to fold the river to a bet if you get check-raised on the turn). If you are ahead, betting might be important.

If any of your opponents are aggressive I think checking is fine, but my default play would be to bet (playing .5/1 ring game)!
