Default Straight / flush draw, bet turn?

Hero is at seat 2 with $51.20.
LEYES is at seat 4 with $46.70.

The button is at seat 4.

Al Pal posts the small blind of $.25.
Eggsactly posts the big blind of $.50.

Hero: 7 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 6 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

Pre-flop:

drzimo folds. Hero raises to $1.75.
KryptoMantium folds. LEYES calls. Al Pal folds.
Eggsactly calls.

who bets this turn? If I bet and get raised a standard amount then I'd have to fold, is it better to check-call? The advantages of bettting are that it builds the pot so that I can push and hope to get called if I hit, and it adds big deception to my hand if I hit as he's not going to put me on it. If I check -call the turn and then lead the river when a draw hits my implied odds go way down. Also seeing as he called me PF he may consider folding a non-strong ace here.

I'm not too worried about it being a paired board as quad 4s or AA are v unlikely here and I very much doubt he floats the flop with 55 given the board.

I'm counting 15 outs for you. So even if you check and he bets pot you're still getting the right price. I would bet around 2/3 of the pot since it will probably be cheaper than if you check to him and he bets. Plus, your hand will be more concealed.
