I find it an easy check behind.

kill him with a value bet.

This is what i've observed about these type of hands.

Guys who check when the flush turns and value bets the river are much more likely to have it then guys who bet the turn when the flush hits and then bet the river.

In fact I might be inclined to fold the river if he even bets 1/2 pot.

harpoons away! this one's a biggun

[soah]

I think the fishy guy will check here on the turn no matter what he has, because I was the last aggressor... right?

[amoeba]

Right, fishy guys never bet out when their flush turns.

if you bet the turn, they might just feel fancy and pull a turn check minraise bluff or some crap like that.

just check behind.

What kind of fish was this by the way? loose aggressive or loose passive?

[DoomSlice]

fish are fish for their passisivity (word check?) until they nail a monster, and then they minraise. if this really is a fishy player then he isn't going to pull a "fancy turn minraise bluff". I bet half pot here, and half pot on river.

[jkkkk]

Check through.

[amoeba]

Its precisely because of their tendency to slowplay bighands that I don't want to bet this turn.
