Raise turn, cap turn, bet river, call raise. Isolate my nuts on MP3's chin as he flips over A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].

You obviously mean cap flop?
Raising the turn would be really stupid imo

Imo you should have 3-bet the flop. But forget that. I would go for bet/call. On any other board I wouldnt care about straight flushes but there is actually a possibility here. If that 10c was a 4c or something I would CR.

c/c one. I'm really not sure what to do if CO raises. I think it's prolly a fold, though.

Three bet the flop. Check/call the turn. Bet/call the river.

Didn't even pay attention to the flop, sorry. I'd go to war on the flop as well.

I think you vastly overestimate how often he has a Q/7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] here. If you're not putting in a raise on the big bet streets here you're playing scared. You can't just assume he has it because the cards are out there. You're ahead a vast majority of the time, and when you're not, he's going to let you know.

I go to war on the flop, not on the turn. If there isn't a flush, there's apt to be a straight. I don't mind one bet going in with my boat/quads draw, but I'd hate to have to put in two. I'm thinking bet/call the river.

But if the board doesnt pair on the river, I 'm dead like 90% of the time with 4 to the flush on the turn. Why would I wanna raise the turn when I am still drawing?

*Grunch*

You fluked the paired board. C/r the river and bet out.
If it is a straight or flush villian is holding the paired board will be of concern. Betting would alert him to your boat.
If villian had 7c, Qc or J9 you could post it as a bad beat. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
Looking again, do you have odds to call for a boat on the flop? (How do you calculate that with 2 cards to come?)
