Re: Boat played really slow
unless you have some insight into how villain plays that you can more profitably exploit, just do the straightforward thing and bet turn and river. it's really a crime not to bet this river after the turn is checked through, especially given that the flush draw hit.
think about this hand and the board texture for a moment. what is he calling with on the flop? maybe a 4, ten, a pocket pair, a flush draw, and the occasional float. turn is a bit of a deal killer for flush draws, and once he checks behind, floating is much less likely. on the river he typically has a hand with showdown value that he is unlikely to want to turn into a bluff. so, he is most likely to check behind on the river. and if he does bet, he is unlikely to call a check raise. therefore, you are simply better off just betting for value yourself.
