I was not worried about the flush, i was hoping for a MP bettor so I could raise. With 4 people in, I should just continue to bet, right?

Why would you go for a check/raise on the turn? Only bad things can happen.

1. you give a possible free card to someone with a lone /images/graemlins/spade.gif or any pair.
2. You miss bets from people that call with inferior hands.
3. If you get 3-bet, you're likely behind.

I agree... I thought some of those things, after i checked. and especially after it was checked through. Thanks

I'd most likely flat out bet it the whole way. Having the turn checked through is pretty ugly.

Awful turn check........... If someone is drawing to a flush let them pay for it.
