So a limped pot, is it better to check/call the turn because the straight draw completed or is bet/folding-calling better here against a shortstack? I'm obviously not gonna fold against a bigger stack but I was wondering what to do here.. his hand is pretty much upside down though.

He has 20$ behind btw.

he might have flush draw and probably turn the str8. i would check/call, you have a better read..
you are still not in bad shape if some club come+ your FH + quads
.. the way he call your bet after the flop doesnt show that you are against top set..(15,20 bet)
i really understand your feeling, very tricky. i guess the str8 hold.

I was playing poker with tarot cards the other night. I got a full house and four people died. WTF...welcome to finland...
