Check-call until the river(barring a 5) then figure out the best action from there. It's hard for your opponent to have a better made hand and a better draw.

This board isn't gonna be pretty by the river for a pair of 5's most of the time (when spades don't hit). I think check-calling the flop and turn announces too loudly that our hand is weak and we don't want to have to call a river bet.

This seems like a pretty good flop for our hand. Why not check-raise it now and get this guy to lay down hands with some outs?
