$50 98s makes 2p on nasty turn

[Chargers In 07]

Villain is pretty unknown at this point. I was thinking of 3 betting preflop but decided calling and playing postflop would be more fun. Raise the flop because he throws out a weak bet and I have an ok hand with outs. The turn I'm torn about...

check. Prob fold river if he pots into you, and I'd consider a small vb on a brick river if he checks again.

That hand, its one I would never call pre with like that either raise but mostly fold should have followed your initial thoughts.
But ya I would check behind and call modest river if you bet now and he decides to even bluff the flush your gonna have to lay down

Check turn, river action depends on the card, if its a blank and check to me a I chuck in a value bet. If it blanks and I get lead into I assess the pot odds then act accordingly.
