25NL: AK facing turn heat
 

I was totally lost on this turn...is b/f the right play here or should I have c/c a reasonable bet and c/f river unimproved?

Hard turn indeed. I would have also folded, but I think you should have raised a bit more PF. Otherwise I think its played fine.

Turn is bad IMO.

If I am villain I am never flat calling with a worse hand but may very well raise you with a queen, kind, flush/straight draw knowing you can't call without a big hand (I wouldn't min raise though).

If you check he may think you are giving up and fire. I think that's the only was you are getting money in on the turn when you are WA.

You 3b pf and he has to think you have at least a decent king when you bet F&amp;T.

I wouldn't call.

yeah the way the turn raise is inviting a call makes it scary...he puts you on the king and wants to keep you in the hand..I woulda laid it down
