Wasn't there long so no read - I think this is a simple fold based on the board. But I have a well-hidden hand and this is a blind defense. Would he check-push with a flush or higher straight? Wouldn't he just raise me back to get more value? The only thing I can think is he has a flush but not the nut flush and wants to protect against the ace. Thoughts?

Why not check behind on the turn and call a $30 bet on the river? Costs the same and you get to see your hand down, this *could* be a bluff here...

Most likely you are teh dead.

gabe is an unknown quantity at this point

when people check call on a board with two clubs, then a club comes, don't bet

Checking behind on this kind of turn card is the chief tenet in my new religion.

What if I'm OOP? If I'm OOP, I think I like a bet here or every floater will push me off my hand. At least I'll have some FE if they don't have a flush.
