Re: Turn value bet or value check?
Some metagame stuff: I think one spot to opt for the turn check over bet/fold is when you are starting to run bad. You don't want to put yourself in awkward spots that may make you worry about what you did, and then run worse. I think there is a big psychological benefit to getting to showdown once in awhile. I think if your starting to run bad and you bet/fold here, it might lead you into a spiral of some bad call downs later. Sow how bout check turn, and call river. (I know this isn't the correct play in a vacuum, but I think its right given what hero is describing.)
