I would probably check and call a bet on the river with a non scary card... Your hand is not very strong and you don't want this pot to get too big.

The only danger is, that you're giving him a freecard for his flushdraw... If he's willing to pay 2$ into 2.25$ for the flushdraw, so be it. But I guess I would check here, and call a bet to a nonspade rivercard... I don't like getting involved in big pots with hands like that, my 2 cents /images/graemlins/smile.gif

I check behind the turn I think, I might bet again with AJ but QJ kinda weakens our position vs the range. I like a check behind on the river too tbh, even if it is a little weak.

ugh, too passive for me. i bet the turn and fold to a check raise. i don't mind checking behind the river.

[/ QUOTE ]I also like turn bet line. Bet strongly enough that a better Q worries he is beaten and so draws are charged then check behind river.

Yeah I like a bet here and check behind the river, fold to a c/r, I might call a bet on the river if it looks weak and obv no flush card.
