I have to improve my turn play...

[criminaldave]

especially if i'm going to play these gapped suited connectors.

Villain is unknown as he has just sat down. Limp call preflop suggests to me that he has a small-medium pocket pair, two broadway cards or A9-AJ. I may be wrong. Flop is a standard c-bet for me. His check-calling suggests some sort of weak ace or maybe even KQ. I pick up more outs on the turn so I now need a plan for the rest of the hand. What do you do?
