Umm..why not? If it was checked he may well have the best hand. Someone could be in there with ATo for instance. They'd have no reason to stay in at this point against a bet. But if the turn/river that you don't bet brings either of those, you're SOL. Hell, even someone with a 7 would probably fold if they know a thing or two about the game. I agree with your assessment of how he should have played the turn, but I'm curious about your statement to check the flop.[/quote]
