Bet out. If ur raised, fold. If ur called, shutdown.

The key to your answer is the number of players invovled in the pot closely followed by the preflop action. No raises and 3 or less players then bet out.

What the guy above me said is right on.

If I'm the villan, I'd raise with a flush draw (getting a free card or a fold). Be aware of that, but I think you have to bet out. Two calls, you're gone. One call is a little more of a thinker.

Bet dude. The flop likely hit no one and the table is tight passive. Betting into two opponents gives you over 25% bluff equity. Checking and hoping to catch a bluff isn't a good play considering your holding. You could let it go and hope to trip up or two pair the turn, but why? Be and take down the 1.50!!

The argument for checking here is that if a blank hits on the turn then my pot equity goes way up and if a scare card hits i can toss w/o additional investment.

Bet, full pot, wanna take it down now, there are about 200 cards (out of 47) that we hate to see on the turn.

This is bad. You stand a good chance of taking it down right here with a relatively weak holding. If this hand continues, it will only get worse for you.
