I plugged my take on villain’s possible holdings into pokerstove including all sets, pairs over 7 with a club and Axc hands. My equity was 51% on turn.

If I bet on the turn it feels like I’m bluffing, is this a check and reevaluate on the river, what do you guys do in this spot?

$12, check/fold river if he calls.

I'd rather fire twice here than give him a free shot at stealing on the river. Obviously this charges his something if he was drawing too.

You were PF aggressor and bet the flop, why does it feel like you are bluffing?

I think you can 2nd barrel this, checking for pot control gives a lot of the range you think he's on free draws.

It seems like i'm building a big pot here with just 1 pair, should i have checked the turn for pot control or bet and then fold to his shove here?

Yeah, that turn bet was to get information. If he'd just called you might be able to check the river and call down a reasonable bet, or make a value/blocking bet. But you got your answer, which is that he's pretty happy with his hand. Probably a good time to let it go, unless you're really aware that he's the kind to put it in the middle with TP/FD.

If you check through on the turn and the river comes non club and doesn't complete the straight draw, what do you do when he makes a reasonable bet into you? It would be reasonable to figure that he's making a move due to missing. In that case you would call and lose the same amount if you were beat.

I think that a turn bet is better since on the occasions you are called and everything misses you take down more.

We're only 51% against his range so a bet is +ev but high variance> If the river blanks we can call a reasonable sized river bet expecting to snap of a bluff a good percentage of the time against this aggressive opponent. If the river is a scare card, we dump the hand and loose the minimum...i guess.
