0.50/1 No-Limit Hold'em (5 handed)
Hand recorder used for this poker hand: Texas Grabem 1.9 by www.pokerstrategy.com.

Preflop: Hero is MP3 with Q♠, J♠
Hero raises to $4.00, 2 folds, SB calls $3.50, BB folds.

Flop: ($9.00) T♥, 2♣, K♥ (2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $6, SB calls $6.00.

Turn: ($21.00) A♦ (2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $17, SB calls $17.00.

River: ($55.00) 5♥ (2 players)
SB checks, Hero checks.

Final Pot: $55.00

Everything is in the title basically... value bet or check behind? He could easily have called down a flush draw imo
oh and what's the best line if I'm OOP? blockbet/fold?

EDIT: here's a similar hand

OOP: bet/folding is fine.

IP: intersting... You can't answer this question in general. If I'm in such a position, I try to find answers to the following questions and derive a decision:
- how likely is that my opponent has the flush (how does he typically play FDs, does it fit to his preflop play, reads, ...)?
- how likely is it that a weaker hand calls my bet (how does my line look like/what do I represent, what does he have and will he call even though a flush and a straight is possible)?
- how likely is it that he bluff-check-raises us (is he capable of c/r without the flush)?

why couldn't you c/c OOP to induce a bluff?

cause it usually won't be a bluff
if he raises your bet, you're almost always beat and can easily fold

I valuebet both of them, especially the first one.
