why not bet turn - check behind river?

getting turn action =&gt; fold

giving away a lot of possible deadly freecards?

I didn't bet the turn because:

- 4 way action means I don't take down the pot that often.
- I am either way ahead or way behind, so free cards don't scare me that much.
- I can't bet big and any crappy King or heart draw will call any small bet.
- I might induce a river bluff.

On the turn you are not WA/WB, there's tons of draws out. however, I still prefer to check for pot control reasons. There's not a whole lot of worse hands calling and you will induce river bluffs from busted draws.
