I bet 90 again on the turn, cheaper, represents pretty much the same thing, no real draws that you're pricing him in for other than that back door flush draw, and makes it so he's less likely to make a play on you with AK. If you bet small on this turn and check the river he might fear a trap and check instead of betting with winning or losing hand which you can't call either way if he were to bet.

Can you explain why?
MP1 will be most likely on a smaller pair, overcards or weak A to limp in midposition.
Calling a bet of 90 on the flop makes perfectly sense given the board texture.

Betting half the pot on the turn is weak and he really represents a weak 9.

Question is what the dude is holding to beat us on the turn?
pocket 4s? A9? A5?
I don't see anything else that would have been played this way.
I think you are ahead.

I have no idea what these guys are playing, but I think a turn fold is usually good.
