    Default 8 high flush! ($22, 2 tables)

    Check/call? Check/fold? Blocking bet? If I check, how much am I willing to call if I should check/call?

    At the time I didn't have much for reads on the guy (and I won't bias you with the reads I acquired later on )

    so if you know you had best hand, they must be drawing.....and if they are drawing they just got there.

    check/fold

    you don't know if they are drawing or not. Better chance they have missed than are drawing. They limped and then checked behind on the flop. I like the turn bet. But I don't like the amount. Why pay so much to draw when a 100-130 bet will typically fold the same hands a 200 bet will. I want to take it down here, but don't mind a call.
