Anyone have any thoughts about my comments on the turn play for suzzer's #1 hand?
I'm not that sure about what is correct there and maybe there's not a huge difference between checking and betting there, but I feel like if I were a little better at poker I would know 100% which play was correct.

Folding pf is a standard play without being semi deep, or without a read, so I agree with that. Villain is 50bb deep or so, so that makes it even more of a fold pf.
Readless, I'm not putting anything else in the pot w/o improving as I said in my original post on this hand. Looking at the turn, I think you're correct in your instinct to check. As you stay, any bet puts you in a tough spot. The other thing to consider with the hand particularly on the turn is the less than ideal showdown value of 77. It isn't horrible, but it isn't ideal either. Holding even 88 or 99 in that situation changes things a lot - regarding calling a river bet (if we check the turn and depending on the river card).
Finally, our equity isn't great, (assuming villain plays relatively normal) we only beat AK or AJs or something like that. Hands we don't beat don't come close to adding up to hands we beat.
Hows that?
