Why is the turn bet bad here?

[/ QUOTE ]

You either (a) are beat and he will never ever fold a better hand or (b) have him crucified. If you check the turn, he may bet the river with his worse hand. I cannot stress enough how much of a spew your line is here. The turn bet is very bad. The 3bet is just insane.

I reread this thread now that its been dragged up again. I understand why my play was bad. The c/r on the turn totally befuddled me because almost every hand he should have here should have been more aggressive pf or on the flop. So I was less making the play on the basis of my hand, and more so on the range of what I thought he was likely to be holding. But the line of checking behind because he's either way behind, or way ahead and not folding is totally correct.

I am pretty aggressive pf and on the flop and have been trying to expand my range of aggressiveness on the turn. I picked a horrible spot to do it.
