Default Re: AJ on BTN c/r small on turn.

I don't like the turn bet much at all, and I guess you have to fold here, RIO and whatnot. However, the point is that this hand plays like 10x better if you check behind here then pick off river bets or vb the river yourself, since he'll call a lot wider on the river than he would on the turn. Sure, occasionally he'll draw out on the river, but that seems like a minor consequence compared to controlling the size of the pot here and trying to keep villain's range full of hands you beat.
