Same situation as in hand #5 except the flop is

, do you bet or take the free card?

I think you could go either way here. Raise for same reasons as last hand, but taking a free card could be good as well. If a 4 hits then it's possible that it helped out someone to make a wheel, which we can then take advantage of. Am I close?

I think I'd bet 25-30 here (leaning towards 30). It a tough spot since there are no real draws out there it's hard to say if someone could be sitting on a monster hand and just doesn't want to chase everyone away with a bet. Since we have 2nd pair and backdoor str8 and flush possibilities it's worth a bet to try to take it down right here.

You want to take advantage of your position here. If you get re-raised you can easily get away without it costing you too much. If you get called you can get more information from the caller(s) that act before you on the turn.
