perfectly played, IMO. there's no reason to bet the turn.

I get stuck in situations like this as well, and am not always sure what to do. Can you explain a little why checking behind on the turn is alright? My tendency is to bet again because I don't want to give a free card to a possible flush draw. Is it because the risk of becoming pot committed with an inferior hand outweighs the chance that they're on a flush draw and will hit on the river?

Thanks.
