No stats on villian. But the table have been loose with a lot of drunk players, but villian just sat down.
Please let me know how you would do in this hand.

without reads I would fold here, river is going to be a tough decision and the straight just got there.

Re: TPGK , how to play turn?
 

Fold. You can rule out 64 and 96, but T9 is possible and he could have called with an OESD. If I had reads on villian I may do something else, but readless I'd bin this hand.

Re: TPGK , how to play turn?
 

Yeah, I can't think of much hands that you beat. Fold.

What do you think about checking turn?

Re: TPGK , how to play turn?
 

fold, hes got better than your hand, people dont do this with a weaker J.

dont check turn, you get no info then, and will be calling him down, and c/fing turn is really weak. there are weaker hands that will call you down here, and stronger hands that will raise. if you need to check, then check river.

Re: TPGK , how to play turn?
 

board is v drawy so protection is important but by the same token you have a super marginal hand and some of the draws just hit on turn.
i think betting the turn is v marginal but as played this is a super easy fold.
i prolly just check turn

Re: TPGK , how to play turn?
 

imo checking turn here is good for pot control. You won't get value from many hands by betting except from weaker jacks. But than this might be too weak and induces bluffs from villian. And we may end up mucking the best hand.

I think bet folding this turn is best option though, and if just called I put out a blocker on the river.
