Top pair on 1 color desk, OOP.
 

Villain is 42/10/1.1 by 60 hands, looks like bad, but adequate. This is very bed spot for me, especially OOP. My logic is in makeing probe bet on flop (what do you think, guys?), and calling on turn for full house value (with 6 outs - 1:7 to come and 1:4 to call - am I to optimistic in thinking about my implied odds?) to stack villain's flush the river. Do you play this hand differently? Check-fold flop/turn? Appreciate your opinion.

I see only one color on the desk.

You only have four outs to FH - roughly 11:1 to hit. And the board will be paired if that happens, so the implied odds should go down. You're not getting odds now and you won't get them if you hit.

Sorry, this is one color desk, you are right.

easy c/f on the turn. and its deck. though i usually just say its a monotone flop.

Is it a tie-dye desk?

Move desk to desired position
paint
???
profit
I also don't mind bed spots OOP with the right villain.

That being said
1) bet more on the flop (3-4)
2) c/f turn

p.s.: Black is not a color

Bet more on the flop, I make it 4 here usually. On the turn either bet and fold to a raise, or just check fold.
