I'd make it 100 on the flop and then check and see what the action looks like on the turn (fold to any big bet.)

Not completing it is wrong, though.

Preflop:

Completing is good due to the fact you are getting 9 to 1 pot odds.

Flop:

You have top pair, weak kicker; OESD and back door flush draw. I would have bet t100. That would have been plenty to give anyone that was drawing to a str8 or flush the improper pot odds (unless they limped with KT or T9 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]) to call. If they called, so be it.

Turn:

Since I put him on the str8 or flush draw and the [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] came on the turn, I would have check/folded to any bet.
