I dunno, but I think villian bet too much on the river to mean a flush, especially after checking the turn.

hmm. that's an awfully large bet on the river. This is a 5.50 game, so i'm not really sure if i would expect his to bet a flush draw (?) utg on that flop. a hand like qk is just as likely imo. If he's playing fairly tight, is he likely to call that large raise on the flop with only a flush draw?

i think i call this, if you lose insert 5.50 more. However i think i would bet the turn and see what his action is.

Bet the turn. The flush came, but if he's trying to be tricky and he has it you can bust him. You can't let a 4th club hit because then your hand is complete crap. Don't worry about him trapping you, you have outs against a hand doing that, worry about pumping up the pot a little more.

my problem w/ betting the turn is then I am committed to the hand. I flush draw usually doesn't bet there I feel, since I think he was planning on checkraising me. I dunno, I wouldn't hate a call, but I didn't feel comfortable w/ it.

If you are pretty sure a flush draw will check-raise you, you should probably bet and let them do it, no?
