Re: This looks standard but feels dirty
Checking the turn does some good things for us here.
- Gets us to showdown cheap, which is fine with a marginal hand that is probably good but really can't stand any heat at all
- If he has a busted straight draw, he is likely to fire at the river since we showed weakness. He may have been trying some dumb OOP float in the first place, too.
- If the 4th spade falls, you'll have a good bluffing opportunity often.
As played it's a fold. I don't really think a turn a bet is *bad* or anything, but generally against an unknown I'll check back here.
