Re: It\'s supposed to be a check right?

CAterp,
Very funny you say that. I wrote her a long post outlining everything from a street to street perspective on through the fundamentals of pot management and the manipulation of such.
Absolutely this hand would play 100% differently if PF wasn't retarded and the flop wasn't overbet (though that play is a smaller mistake, I feel it was still a contributing factor in getting into this spot).
She is a novice though and slack must be granted. And even still, imagine that the previous streets were played fine in terms of betsizing and starting stacks were just larger. We still do have to make a decision...

right. and i think that everything that you said about our hand not being huge but having a moderate amount of showdown value (especially if turn is checked and river bricks) that we love to check the turn and call a river brick or bet (or shove) a flush or straightening card.
with different stack/pot ratios betting becomes more attractive but given exactly where we are and how we got there (your handreading summary comes to mind) checking seems ideal
