How would you play it? Any chance that i should check-fold it?

SB is LP-P. VPIP 41, PFR0 for 43 hands
UTG+1 is VPIP 20, PFR 2.50. Passive after flop.

I would check the flop and see what happens behind me. This board is going to give virtually any decent hand some kind of draw and the chance of improving your hand without improving someone elses are slim. (don't really want to see any Q or /images/graemlins/heart.gif)

I play this the same as you, and suck it up if I lose to a pair of jacks or a baby flush. I don't think I check fold anywhere.

Check-call the river.

Someone's got a 10 or J-rag here, but they won't raise because they fear the flush. They also won't bet out for the same reason. They're also not going to fold to your bet.

At the same time, no one's shown any aggression and you might induce a bluff at the river.

I agree with SoCal... this is good, but check/call the river. If someone got the flush on the turn they might be letting you bet it for them and then raise on the river.

If you had 93 on the BB for the free play, you'd check earlier, on the turn, if you didn't improve yet. But since you have an overcard betting the turn is good.
