Flop: (t120) 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (6 players)

Should I check/fold the turn? Should I check/fold the river? Both bets from button are pretty gay, but I have no tell is it a sign of the weakness or the strength...

You put yourself in a very difficult situation by betting so little on the flop...that's not even 2/3 the pot. Throw in 120-140. I don't see where you are getting the idea that you are behind, I doubt anyone is slow playing the flush like that against those raises. No, you should not checkfold turn, you should probably bet 2/3 pot, but the situation would have been different if you bet more on the flop I think. Anyways why do you think you are behind on the turn? Your bet was weak and the called it, then proceeded to bet less than half the pot on both of the following streets after your check.
