Ugly Ed
You semi bluff to steal the pot while hoping for the nut flush or just call to draw the flush? I started with a little larger than pot size bet. Then also drew a gut shot nut str8 on the turn. Where you go from here? What size bets you make? Or do you check/call from here? No reads just sat down.

i bet again. check/calling seems transparent and won't get you paid off much. i dont think a bet by you will get raised because they didn't raise the flop which had so many draws in it, so you aren't worried about getting blown off your hand.
