umm its thin. if you think he will bluff at you then yeah but i dont like a call here without a solid read.

and i bet the turn for a cheaper showdown

Definately bet the turn to see where you're at.

He's check on the turn is suspicious of a spade draw, so bet 1/2 to evaluate your position at this stage.

Without gaining that information on the turn i'm folding this river.

[virompl]

Do you guys the turn without the spade flush draw on the flop?

[michaelantoi]

the reason I would bet the turn w/out spade draw is because of his check.

His check really tells me he has either OESD or bottom pair.

Maybe slow-playing a set/two pair since it's a relatively safe flop.

- This is without any flush draw.

Looks like he hit is flush... If he had a Q, he probably would have bet the turn... easy fold...

turn no bet makes this a really tough decision. I bet like a little over half pot on turn, unless you read him for a queen.

As played i take a while and eventually fold /images/graemlins/smile.gif

P.S. he proabably raises the flop here with a Queen (4 flush out there), so id think about betting the turn to see how thrilled he is about his hand.
