There are three players in the hand. The game is 1/2 NL, and the person behind me has raises to $15. One player in front of me calls, and I call with J/10 hearts.
The flop is Qd/9s/5h. Player 1 checks, I check, initial raiser bets all in for $30. Player 1 calls, and I call.
The turn is a Kd, which gives me the nut straight, and two diamonds on the board. Player 1 checks, with about $65 left.
Any bet here would normally result in either a raise or a fold. Do I check the turn and give him a free card, and maybe get him to bet on the river?
I ended up putting him all in on the turn, and he folded. I was trying to protect against a backdoor flush draw.
