I didn't expect so many callers but seeing as I got 2 of them, I thought I was in trouble. The turn didn't do much since if someone had T8, they didn't need the 7 for the straight so I slowed down. They both checked so I thought I was good but the club on the river killed me and I was willing to call something like $2 or $3, but his $4 didn't feel right so I folded. Should I have followed through on the turn? What about the river? Was this an induced bluff?

I cant believe you checked that turn. At least one of them and most likely both of them are drawing. They would raise with a made hand with that draw heavy board.

Ok, it was bad. However, say I bet $8 on the turn and 1 or both come and that card comes on the river, or a card that makes a 4 card straight or a blank? What do you do in these situations? Check/call a reasonable bet? bet and fold to a raise? check to induce a bluff on a blank?
