bet or chk?
Party 20/40 5 handed. I open raise in the cutoff with AK. I have the A of diamonds. Only the BB calls. No read - he's only been here an orbit or two. Seems like the average player - a little too loose preflop, average postflop.
Flop is T85, 2 diamonds. BB checks and calls my bet. Turn is a 5, 3 diamonds now. BB checks. Your action?

[/ QUOTE ] I think you have to bet again... it is very easy to call a bet on the flop with nothing... and following through on the turn is important. Evaluating what to do on the river is the key decision if you don't hit anything. So betting the turn is paramount!!

Re: bet or chk?
i think this is a very standard bet. getting check raised sucks, but you very likely have many outs so it's not so bad. there is a significant possibility that you are still ahead, and a turn bet will often get you a free showdown.

I haven't read what anyone else has said, but for some reason I feel like it doesn't really matter either way.

It seems to me that this is a good spot to check with outs and induce a river bluff. But then again if you bet and get c/r'ed, he definately leads the river and if you make a flush you punish him. If an A or a K hit though, I don't think he bets. Meh. I dunno.

Re: bet or chk?
The pot is small, so it doesn't matter very much if he has a worse hand and draws out on you. You don't want to be check raised because the pot doesn't pad very much.
Check behind, fold to a bet if you don't improve raise a flush, call if you spike a pair and he bets, bet if you spike a pair and he checks.
