5-Flush board

[parttimepro]

Hand at 1/2 NL on party last night. No reads, both players have $100 stacks.

I have A/images/graemlins/diamond.gifK/images/graemlins/heart.gif.
UTG raises to $8. Folds to me in MP, I smooth call. Everyone else folds.
Flop is K/images/graemlins/club.gif8/images/graemlins/club.gif2/images/graemlins/club.gif, pot is $19. UTG opens for $8. I raise to $25. He thinks for a while and calls.

Turn is 6/images/graemlins/club.gif. He checks, I figure he made some kind of flush, and check behind.

River is T/images/graemlins/club.gif, pot is $66. He checks quickly. Your play here? Would anybody have bet the turn?

I don't mind the check on the turn.

But I reckon betting $40 on the river would increase your EV.

On the turn you can't be sure if he made his flush, but I don't see him checking the turn and river with a monster.

However, if you had A/images/graemlins/club.gif it is perfectly reasonable you would check the turn to try and get some action on the river, so I would try to represent it.

Not only might you bluff him out of a split pot, you might get him to lay down a small club.
