Call for the split, or just give it up?

I think I'd bet/ fold the turn here. If an unknown raises me there, I give him credit for the flush. If he raises me with just a naked Q, good for him. Holdings like JT, KJ and KT make sense too. On the river, you have moved yourself into a tough spot. FH seems unlikely. Could be a flush, and we could be splitting. I think a fold is in order, two pair holdings most likely check behind here.

I would have raised more at the flop, this way you invite flush drawers...

I think you can give up here. Splitting most of the time and occasionally loosing to boats is -EV.

Thanks for the responses, all. I called and lost to Qh6h.

Kabouter: I potted the flop. Bad enough odds for a flush draw, no?

He had the open ender and the flush draw. Fold? Hell no, If I were him I would have raised you.
