Default Re: 200NL AQs tough river decision

Bet the turn, if you had only flushdraw or only TPTK check is fine, but now you have fckin both.

As played, insta-call river.

Yeah the turn check behind is definitely a debatable play. I remember reading about a very similar hand in the high stakes NL section a while back, and the reason that the turn check was recommended is because if villian has a set, the last thing you want to do is get blown out of the water with a CR. If he has a flush draw, you want him to stay in. And if he has any other air-ish type hand like a small pocket pair, he'll likely bluff the river or pay off a value bet. But maybe this is not high stakes so this advice is not optimal?

It's just that your hand is so strong right now you want to build a pot. Against an aggressive villain who might c/r me off my hand, I would consider checking behind. Against an average 200NL player though, I would bet the turn. As played, definitely call river.
