Well played.

You have 10 outs to a boat or better, folding would be criminal.

I don't agree with betting the turn here ... 60% of the time one of them has the flush. But that isn't really what's important. With 4 clubs out there, the only hands that call you have you beat. Check, then call. Like Phyl said, you have too many outs to fold. If you get the boat on the river you can check/raise.

I call the river too. getting nearly 9-1 to call you would be surprised the trash these guys play with.

I agree that you have to see the river, but I don't see the sense in betting the turn.

If that's nuts, then I'm nuts too. Seriosuly, what does a bet accomplish on that board when you have top set?

After thinking about it some more I think I'm checking the turn too.

It just seems wrong though, someone tell me why I'm wrong.

He should, he really should. 100k seems like the most suitable prize.

totally agree with xanadu, check / call the turn. Why would you want to isolate the man with the better hand? Get to see the river for 1 bet and if u hit your boat you maybe get paid off by both opponents for maybe more than 1 bet.

Why bet the turn? I agree that betting is fun, more often correct and can't be a big mistake. But in this case, lets hear a strong argument for it. Worse hands call? Better hands fold?
