Re: 1-2NL Hand At The Taj
CRAI on turn. The A is literally the best card in the deck because now you know he is full of it. If he has AK and hits the A he is more than likely checking behind the turn for pot control (look how scary that flop is!!!). The A is a standard scare card for the preflop raiser to rep when it comes on the turn but it almost always is a bluff.
Check-calling turn to induce a bet on the river as a trap is also ok if the board were dryer (say J52A on turn) but I like check-raising the turn on this board because:
1. The board is scary and you might legitimately be put in a tough spot on many rivers.
2. On the off chance he does have AK or 2 pair or something, you have 10 outs for maximum equity (two Q, four 9s, four kings). Paying off a river bet would be bad if he has these hands.
