99 Raising on the turn

[gir]

Villain is 27/1/1.74 over 224 hands. Should I have just checked behind on the turn?

Not a great card to second barrel on. I'm addicted to second-barreling myself, but I don't think it's profitable here.

By the way, don't show action after you bet.

What does that mean "don't show action afer you bet" Are you saying to check behind on the flop?

[Reid L]

no, dont tell us what happened after your move

[Sh@i'tan]

Whats the purpose of your turn bet?

[pokerchap]

the audition nailed it. what is the point of betting the turn. you are only getting called/ raised by hands that beat you.
