Default A little help on this hand please!

After being called twice, and now a possble flush on the turn, what should I do now? With his limp I'm thinking maybe he has pocket 3's or 4's, or an outside shot at Aces, and is stringing me along.

UTG seems to be a solid player. Tight and usually leading or raising strong hands. With marginal or weak hands was probe betting, and folding to any agression.

Should I continue here with another pot-sized pet? If I do, I'm pretty much pot committed, and I'm going to have to go all-in on the river. In that case, would going all-in on the turn be a better play? There's no way I can check the turn here is there?

I'd really appreciate any opinions.

He could have a lot of hands on the flop, 33 44 and 99 are in there but so are any two clubs, 66-88 and TT-QQ. That being said you are ahead of a lot of these hands. Personally I would probably fire the turn again, but that might be a leak of mine. You now have a club draw and you can check the turn with the plan of calling any reasonable bet, club or not, on the river. That way you can keep the pot small and not commit yourself with one pair.

you gotta bet here. your not gonna get away with a check as the villian here will almost always be betting, even if he doesn't have anything because he sees you as weak. then your left with a costly guessing game. take control of the hand and let him know your strong, especially if he folds to aggression. if he plays back at you u can be pretty certain your beat. If he calls you here I like a river check and see what kind of odds he's willing to give. I lead out for between half and 3/4ths the pot here and re-evaluate after he makes his play...
