dang it's lame to be house #2 always....

House #2 says, i don't hate the call as much as i hate you not betting the turn... at least 2/3rds of the possible range that he's floating you with now beats you..
not to mention KJ which is another popular holding

I checked for pot control, I didn't want a huge pot.

Re: $100NL Do you hate this call?
 

To those of you against checking the turn, please list the factors in this hand that make exercising some pot control suboptimal. Or if you prefer, concoct a similar situation in which pot control would be more appropriate. I think that would help both me and OP.

When I 3-bet AK PF and hit the flop perfectly (e.g. here), pot control is usually the last thing on my mind.

If you raised like KJ in the CO and got a decent TPGK flop, checking behind a safe turn might be a good spot for pot control. Make sense?

Re: $100NL Do you hate this call?
 

Letting a free card drop is terrible. I understand that you want pot control. Bet like 1/2 the pot or something. Don't let him draw for free. Also, you are in position so that would make it easier for me to bet the turn here.

I bet this, but checking crosses my mind probably because when and when not to use pot control has not yet completely solidified in my head.
