Pot control or induce bluff?
 

Villian seems like a decent TAG like player, I've not got stats as I'm playing off my laptop and had the wrong version of PAhud installed. I've just moved up to 100NL so it's unlikely he's got more than about 30 hands on me.

I think it's hands like these I need to be more certain about, this is typically how I'd play the hand at 50NL. I called the flop bet to allow villian to bluff at the turn. I thought he either had a set or a lower pair so couldn't see much value in a raise. On the turn I think a bet would probably have taken it down but i decided to check to induce a bluff on the river. This is typically how I'd play a TPTK type hand too.

Looking back I think there are three ways to play this and I'm just curious which line most people would take:

1) this one - call flop bet and check turn to induce bluff
2) take it down by raising flop, probably fold to further action
3) take it down on turn

oops just realised i messed the title up, should be something like "bet turn or induce bluff"!

Re: Pot control or induce bluff?
 

I bet the turn for $16 and check behind on the river. There are a couple draws i'd like to get value out of on the turn.

If the turn was a lower card, i'd check to induce the river bluff.

Why? The K is the best card in the deck (baring the suit) for the hero on the turn, we can now remove AT, KT, K4 or K7 from his range, if top pair wins at showdown (and its looking likely that top pair is all it will take) then hero must be ahead. I would think this is a perfect spot to bet the turn, please elabortae.
