i would bet the turn...

the river is kinda scary since it puts a 4 straight on the board...

I don't disagree witht he bet on the turn. I wasn't sure if I should. Is there reasoning or odds to why bet here with 2 callers?

[thirddan]

depending on your reads of the two callers your hand will be good here a lot of the time especially with only one overcard on the board...and if you are raised i think you have pretty easy fold...

I would bet the turn. You have:

1) no reason to think you are behind to a K,
2) no reason to think anyone else will bet this hand for you,
3) no reason to give a free card to a Q or A, and
4) no reason not to be comforted by your just having picked up a redraw to the third nut flush if you behind.

All-in-all, I see no reason to not bet the turn.

I know it can be a little spooky when people keep calling you and you don't have the nuts but trust me: it means nothing. People at the micro limit tables will constantly call you with underpairs, undercards, backdoor flush draws, gutshots and ten-high. I think you should at least bet the turn, here.
