You have to fold on the turn. Truth is you should never have bet here.

It's a way ahead/way behind situation where you are 100% to win a lot of the time with your straight + flush redraw but the times you are behind you have to fold if you get checkraised.

So this is a spot where you really shouldn't care about giving a free card if you are ahead, but you should care if you're behind about betting.

Check the turn back to induce bluffs off your opponent on the river and also if villain checks the river, then you can be certain you have the best hand and still get your value bet in (which will look like a bluff to villain because why would you check a straight on that board?).

If you bet the turn and villain calls, you are likely going to check the river if it blanks since it's unlikely villain calls with worse than a straight on this board.
