I would have liked if at least both players behind me had folded; unfortunately one calls and I'm left sandwiched on the Turn with a nasty looking 4:h. I didn't know how to act on this street.
I wasn't worried that much about someone having a 5, but more about someone having 77+. I didn't know if to Ch/C and try pot control or if to bet for protection against the flush or another connected card.
Since BU just checked behind, I assumed he did not have an overpair. However, what hands was I expecting to pay me if I bet the River? Certainly not pairs of deuces or threes. I can only think of fours, fives and overpairs like 77 or 88 (and two pairs or sets of course). So I checked and expected a free showdown.
I'm quite confused about this hand.
