TPTK and a draw

Villain is LP. Thats a typical hand I get right now. I feel that usually everyone can suck out against me but I am not completing anything.

Easy turn bet, theres no reason to check it. If all you had was a flush draw HU you could argue that a check is ok.

U need to bet the turn because:
1) U probably have the best hand since villains most likely holding is 9x

2) U have lots of outs if behind, so getting raised is not that bad.

LP players suck out a lot, but by not betting u reward he can do it for free!

I would have bet the turn.

After MP1 called your flop raise and checked the turn, there was nothing to suggest that the Q [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] helped him, and that your hand was not best.

Your checking behind on the turn, gave him a free card to possibly outdraw you on the river.

From your post, it looks like MP1 was calling down with Ax.

The queen on the turn is probably scarier to him than to you. Bet the turn.

Bet the turn. We still probably have the best hand.

People are going to suck out on you more often if you give them free cards to do so.
