opponent specific question

shut down on the turn once he calls you. People always check call their trips here.

Betting this turn is just throwing away your chips 90% of the time.

Don't limp the button, either fold or raise. That will make the rest of the pot easier.

The flop bet is fine, nothing wrong with betting when checked to. But don't ever ever EVER bet this turn. What did he call the flop with that you are now getting value out of, a small pocket pair? You have showdown value and he most likely has a King, just check the turn, and eval the river.

i don't understand why i would want to shutdown here on the turn.
he called me with a flush draw, a small pair, or a 3. possibly even 3 10 and he doesn't know what 2 pair is.

[peterpjames]

Betting the turn probably gets a 3 to fold so you're getting no value there. A flush draw fine, but it's a paired board and your hand is marginal but with some showdown value, just get to the river and his hand will become obvious.

or a king in which case you're now drawing dead. (or 33 with same result...)
