Default Re: A common pair vs draw situation

He has already paid four small bets for his “free” draw, so if he is on a draw, you already accomplished your aim with your nice reraise on the flop. A turn check by you might give you some information based on whether he bets again or not. Once he checked the turn and no club appeared on the river, you might think about checking the river to induce a bluff. I have noticed that people who will “pay any price for a free card” are aggressive enough to bluff in this situation, and if he was on a draw, he won’t call your last bet anyway.

Since he is representing a strong hand on the flop (and has paid dearly to do so), I think the turn check is OK. But if you had not reraised his flop raise, I would certainly suggest betting out the turn when it came a blank.
