One opponent, who typically only calls flop if he has something, and will sometimes check-raise turn big, other times fold turn. Rarely check-raises flop. He is on the BB, you are UTG. Other 2 people folded pre to your raise. You both have around $550 behind.
Flop is J85, one spade.
He checks, you bet $35, he calls.
Turn is Qs. Now you have both the nut flush draw AND the nut low draw, but no made hand.
He checks. Do you bet something like pot, knowing you will be risking most of your stack if he check-raises? Or do you check back, hoping to catch something? Or perhaps bet smaller than pot?
Also, if you do bet something substantial on turn and brick, do you shove the river, or just check back and give up?
