$115 NLTRN common situation with a big draw

[bbbushu]

it's also really important how villain will play on the river. if s/he will bluff a missed 89 (n/a to the OP but the idea is villain will stab after missing a draw and we show weakness on the turn) then i'd rather bet the turn and check-behind if i miss the river. if villain won't bluff it's easier to just check-behind and play the river correctly (this is especially true if villain is aggressive enough to float a check/raise AND our hand has a little more showdown value than this - like the A-high draw or 88). this has the disadvantage of cutting down our implied odds in the event we hit, and also not charging villain to draw to their maximum-10-outer (if they're open-ended and we don't have a pair) but if villain won't bluff the river with a missed draw (or even make very thing value bets) it'll often be worth it to slow down.
