Weak turn play :0(, who bets turn?
bet/fold turn? bet/call, calldown?
Given how I played it, I imagine I call the river
Anyone not bet that flop?

I like flop bet, you had position taking a stab is ok.

Check river is correct too. With the flush hitting I don't see how you get called by worse.

Nice hand. There are player you can barrel the turn against, but I don't suspect many of them are playing .25/.50. If the guy is at all passive, you're particularly done with this hand on a board like that.

the play on that turn is very read dependent. i think checking on any non-five is not horrible as a default.

I play it the exact same.

When Villain calls the flop, we're hoping he is on a draw.
That turn hit a lot of Straight Draws.

If I am determined to see showdown, then I check behind on the turn in order to call most river bets.
I only bet the turn if I am willing to throw it away to a check-raise.
Because calling 2 more bets after Villain shows aggression would be foolish.

Because this coordinated board offers our opponent the opportunity to semi-bluff-check-raise, my chosen path is to avoid this risk by just getting to showdown quickly and cheaply.

The river hurts our chances even more.
But fortunately, we did not have to make the decision to call off another bet.

a big part of what i meant by the turn being strongly read dependent.

you don't have to worry about this from most opponents at this level.
