His hand looks like a draw to me on the turn, bet.

if he bets turn he has to play for stacks I like the check behind. I think you played this hand perfect on every street

Yea it looks like a spade draw. I like the turn check for pot control to.

this guy has a spade draw in a 3-bet pot like never compared to the times he has 77-99 or a ten.

Why so? why can't we b/f turn, and value bet the river again if checked to us.

I think you played pretty well. I kinda like the turn check, though I suppose you could have bet a little something to get value if he had queens or jacks wich probably would have called a smallish bet and to at least charge something if he was on a flush draw. But if he raises you'd have a decision to make.

Am I wrong to not want to push too hard?

i think a turn check is good but not for any reasons given so far

exactly, and that hand IS folding about 95 percent of the time after a pot bet on the turn, i would like betting the turn here with AQ much more than AK, i like the line, you may get someone to bluff the river or you could get 77-99 to pay you off now

Agree turn check induces river bluffs from weaker hands
