Re: 5NL HUSNG paired board
think of the hands that continues - draws/Ts/9s that range has v. good equity against us since our kicker isn't great(bet if he'll call with like A high though). If you wait until the turen our equity vs that range improves. Not only that, but it's a nice way to see a cheap showdown. if we bet the flop and get called i don't think we can profitably bet the turn, that allows our opponent to take it away from us on the river (assuming we don't know his bluffing frequencies and can't profitably call). however by checking the flop, then betting the turn, the action often goes check-bet-call(or fold) then our opponent checks to us on the river. We have got to showdown with our marginal hand and have got money in with better equity against his range.
if the board was T94 then i'd bet because our hand has more value on the flop. Hopefully that makes some sort of sense.
