I would generally check behind on the turn to avoid this sort of thing.

Fires a blank turn...interesting. I also check behind here, but otherwise I think it hits the muck here.

He checked the flop, and then hit it hard on a turn that didnt seem to do much for him. I just thought it was interesting. I still fold it, though.

I think you need to bet 2/3 pot on the turn, your bet could appear weak and villian could sense that and be on a draw. I'd feel more confident in laying the hand down if the bet didn't 'look' weak.

I don't check this turn and give a free card though. This is party nl25. If you check the turn and there's a blank on the river and villian pushes the river, is the hand any different?

I think that I would call this.

I'd justify it to myself that he might be pushing with the A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], and I still have 10 outs to the boat. The push here just doesnt seem to make sense, and I feel reluctant to give him credit for the flush. Is this spewing?
