Line check? The whole hand was kind of by-the-seat-of-my-pants. Villain is unknown to me. I figure regardless of his holdings, he's betting the turn.

I think the way you played it is fine. Sometimes I'll bet small on the turn to bring a flush draw along. Bet-check-bet is fine though IMO.

i'd bet 200 on the turn to get more money from draws like T9/hearts rather than checking and hoping they hit on river, because hearts/T9 isn't folding turn getting 3 to 1 odds and when they miss, you still get chips.

i lead the turn, but otherwise looks good.

A small bet may have elicited a call or a raise, hard to tell. Checking may have also, been fine because he thought he was best hand. In the end you doubled up.

I go with the check. You want to make him think he's improved and he did. You definitely don't want to scare him off.

I lead the turn, but slowplaying a full house on the turn with that board is perfectly fine.

Of course, checking the flop completely sucks.
