The villian in the hand is Pete "TheBeat" Giordano. I think that is a crucial peice of info for analyzing the hand.

Also, on the turn note that there is 8400 in the pot, the villian has 16320 chips, and Daryn has him barely covered.

Those that say bet the turn, you need to clarify and say how much you bet. A big bet commits you while a smell bet is too likely to get check raised.

Personally, I think the 3k bet on the flop is too much because of the awkward scenario it puts you in on the turn. Note that you would be in a similar spot if the turn were a ten, a king, or any spade.

If you bet 2k on the flop, the turn will look like this:
6400 in the pot, and the Villian has 17k chips. Now you can fire a 4-5k bet, and safely fold to a check raise, while still making a bet strong enough to represent something.

I think 5k is probably still enough on the turn? or close?
