I usually check this turn.
Yes, there is a flush draw out there. But if they were drawing, the flush is already there. Checking controls the pot better, and there isn't a need to bloat the pot with numerous draws present. I think I c/c a blank river too, but it is read dependent. |

raise more preflop. when its more than headsup on the flop, I'm not a fan of making continuation bets like this since if you get called, you don't know if they are on flush draw or they are on a pair.
it might find you in the same situation as here but potsize is more manageable. |

To get good advice on post-flop play, you need to include the stack sizes, because that can alter the best play drastically. The one thing I will say, is raise more pre-flop.

Checking controls the pot better [/ QUOTE ] But doesn't it also give them a chance to make a backdoor flush? I was worried about the button's flat call behind me on the turn when contemplating calling on the river |
