Seems weak. CO just calls flop and collects the money.

When you bet flop you should be willing to fire 2nd barrel unless you are against very predictable or tricky opposition.

TPTK + gut shot is enough to bet flop and fire 2nd barrel turn. Turn you have also ace of trump. You do not really have bet pot-sized bets, but you have to have good followthough.

yea it seemed very weak when i did it during the game. i agree with the 2nd barrel, i shouldve fired.

You could bet the turn here. Personally I like the check here (if you bet you can't call a raise) but I would call the turn bet. You could hit aces up and value call the river, get paid off if you hit your gutshot, catch your opponent bluffing on the river, or just check fold on the river if you think you're beat.

i play this hand lots of diff. ways.

sometimes i check flop, bet this turn.

sometimes i pot the flop, 1/2pot turn.

sometimes i do what you did, but it's very opponent specific when i do.

i dont think your line is as weak as it seems, but betting the turn is better.

a lot of players will notice who stops firing on the turn and just call a flop bet and pick you off on the turn.

i dont think this is a huge leak for you, but i would mix in some diff. plays when in this spot.
