I open raise in the CO with something that will have little or no showdown value unimproved, say J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. Folded to the big blind who calls.

Flop: 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
He checks, I bet, he calls.

Turn: 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
He checks, ????


I am unsure about this situation in general more so than this specific hand. I have very little or no showdown value, and the turn card is such that he can use the same excuse to justify a turn call that he used to justify his flop call.

For those of you who bet in these spots, would you give up if the turn were a card such as a club, a 5, or and 8 which improved one or more of his possible flopped draws?

I would also appreciate any thoughts regarding which types of opponents I should be inclined to bet the turn against and which types I should just give up against.

Thanks,
Cartman
