Re: What is the turn play?
not betting the flop turns it into a guessing game......take the lead and bet the flop and go from there
you do realise you only have 2pair and jack high on the turn, right? Im expecting villain to be have A10/AJ and betting for value on the turn and hoping he isnt splitting the pot if he suspects you have an ace....

Re: What is the turn play?
You think bet the flop with two jacks and two overcards? And then if he raises I should fold. Or if he calls, then fold? or continue?

Re: What is the turn play?
: toxic grunch :
Ach! Very difficult. He could have slow-played the flop fearful of not getting any action with his trip kings or flopped Qs full. Alternatively he has much less and took your check as weakness. Maybe he thinks with a double-paired board his A high would be good (although I might tend to ascribe that kind of thinking to an advanced player: dunno if I'm off-beam there). I'd probably play it how you did. But I susepct betting the turn and folding to a raise might be recommended by better players; you'll have at least have made an attempt to find out where you stood. The way you played it you never get to find out til the river.

I know you didn't ask this question, but please bet the flop.

Bet/folding the turn either way can't be too bad since you have Jack-high and are drawing dead against anything that isn't a total bluff.

Re: What is the turn play?
Yes, if I went as far as the turn, I should have bet there and, yes I would be drawing dead against anything but a total bluff. I suspect a bluff more often than it ever comes. That's what kept me going in this hand.

You aren't folding a better hand, and he's not calling your bet with anything worse than J high. Bet the flop because you might still have the best hand, and its very easy to fold to a raise.
