10NL, 66 turns OESD

[Bowlboy]

Not sure if I played this correctly on the turn. Should I ever be 2nd barrelling this? Villain could be on the flush draw so I'm thinking c/c is'nt the greatest plan.

Villain is 38/3/2.00

You don't really have any good options. I think it's more likely that Villain has an ace than a flush draw (he did call a preflop raise, after all, and he's not super-loose), and he's probably not folding either hand unless you make a reckless overbet that will often backfire. Meanwhile, a normal bet, while giving you some folding equity against, say, TT, does open you up to facing a raise that's bigger than Villain would have bet himself. And you probably don't have the best hand, and you're not even that big of a favorite versus a flush draw, since that draw will often contain two overcards to your 6's (leaving you with just a 2:1 edge with one card to come).

So I think you played it fine. A card that makes your hand will also make the board super-coordinated, but I think you have enough implied odds on the turn to call anyway (plus, occasionally Villain will check behind a bust on the river and you'll win that way).
