 Unknown villain. In these games a 10 is nearly always check raising the flop. What could this guy really have? A 5 or 4 seems possible I guess, as is a flush draw. How bad would it be to call and rep a single high club if the 4-flush comes and he checks?

Cryptologic 1.00/2.00 Hold'em (10 handed) link

Preflop: Hero is CO with 9, A.
6 folds, Hero raises, 2 folds, BB calls.

Flop: (4.50 SB) 4, T, 5 (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets, BB calls.

Turn: (3.25 BB) T (2 players)
BB bets, Hero sez: wat?
Some days it feels like I've been standing forever, waiting for the bank teller to return so I can cash in all these Sklansky Bucks.

It's tempting to just fold the flop here. Even if all he has is a lone club with two random cards he's got >50% equity. If he has a pair, same thing.

As played I consider raising the turn for the free showdown. But without a read that villian is capable of bs here I just fold.

elipsesjeff is an unknown quantity at this point
 You have no equity in the pot or any reason to call. I'd go ahead and fold before the bets get expensive.
