    Get dealt QQ in cutoff...loose table, 4 limpers ($5BB) so pot of about $27...from cutoff I raise it to $35. Get called by early position (very loose player) and MP (semi-decent).

    Flop
    A 9 7

    checked to me, and based on my read I know that if EP had an ace, he'd bet, and MP would bet any strong Ace..

    ACTION?? I bet a little less than half pot...get called in both positions...

    Turn
    Q

    Checked to me again...what do i do? I think if EP has a big spade he calls my bet, and MP could already have the flush to call there....action???

    This is a tough one...I'm willing to believe that one of them is slowplaying the nut flush...KJ spades maybe. You made a little type-o here...the queen of hearts either came on the turn or you have it in your hand.

    Had one of them played something like a suited 10-8, it would seem more logical to play the flush more aggressively, but it's possible. If you think MP has flopped the flush and you're holding the set, you might want to take a free card and hope for the board to pair. Chances are if you fire out on the turn, you will get raised by the flopped flush if one of them has it.

    Personally, I would probably bet the turn here as checking isn't going to give you any information about either of their hands, even if it is the safer play. It doesn't seem too likely that they're both chasing a 4th spade. You're either ahead or you have 10 outs. What happened in the end?

    so a little bit more context...the buy-in at the table is $200 max (commerce casino)...i had about $400, EP had little less than $200, and MP had about $650...

    I checked the turn, 4th spade came on the river, EP pushed in for the rest of his chips about $100 ish...MP folded, I folded...he showed his J and a K....

    i feel whatever i bet on the turn, he would of called as he was willing to gamble and the turn only made his obscene flop call look more attractive..one ended straight draw...
