Bet the turn.

Why?
[/ QUOTE ]1) You're giving the flush draw a free card otherwise.
2) You probably have the best hand. In any case, checking here doesn't give you any more information because a bet from the opponent on the river could be because he saw weakness + the scare card, or because he actually has a hand.

I am a relative newbie and am a little confused about this. If a bet the turn here I am giving my opponent 4.25 to 1 pot odds, which means that they can call my bet properly. Therefore I am not putting them in a position to make a mistake.
I would also argue to bet here, but for different reasons. In the flush draw situation you will win this ~4 times out of 5. Therefore over 100 hands you will win 1BB 80 times and lose 1BB 20 time for a net win of 60BB. Of course things get more complicated since villian doesn't necessarily have a flush draw. But your in a situation where you are either way ahead or way behind, and I don't see any reason to think that you are behind.
Am I understanding any of this correctly? Please let me know where my mistakes are.
