Second hand, if you check behind for pot control you save this headache.

just wondering, why do you say he should check behind for pot control? It seems better to bet with folding equity/flush draw/straight draw, especially since villain has been passive. correct me if i'm wrong.

I don't think we have much FE here. The 5d is not going to scare villain if he was calling with TP +, and if he was willing to call with a draw on the flop he'll probably do so again on the turn.

I also like checking behind because our flush is well disguised if we hit it.
