Villain is a semi-thinking player. I smooth called the turn with the plan of firing 8 into the river. River fell and made the flush, 4 to a straight, anyone think we can still bet this? Can we call a bet if he fires? Was this played too passively - should I have just raised the turn?

Too many outs that you would hate to see on the river (and many of those villain won't be thrilled about either) - raise the turn.

As played, I'd probably c/call a mediocre bet and kick myself for not raising that turn.

Given his min/raise on the flop, you could definitely extract more that 1.5 from him on the turn. Charge him for his draw on that draw-heavy board.

given the crappy river, i would c/c...

by raising hard on the turn you'd get calls from villain' losing hands like AQ, JQ, any set, (but only winning hand that calls/raises you is K10)

Personally I reraise on the flop. With two connected over cards and two suited cards on the flop, I would like to make him pay to draw.
