Villain was a bit of a station. Do you think there is any point on betting the turn? I believe that most villains (even those that are a bit of a station) would fold to a second barril here, no?

I highly doubt he gives you any credit for a flush. So, if he's calling the flop, he's likely calling a turn bet as well. Check behind and get the free card.

I def. do not fire a second barrel. Plus, when we bet flush draws and hit at these levels, one reason we can keep betting is because our range is wide and it's less likely we have a flush (so we get paid off big). So not sure if you are trying to rep. the flush? I'd really like to have reads on him and how often he folds postflop to try this, but even then I most likely wouldn't try this vs. a shorty.
