how to play the turn?

[Quester]

This would be fine if your villain was more aggressive. Since his AF is 0.89 (over how many hands?), you should greatly consider slowing down to the flop minraise.

i have only 90 hands.
what would be your line after slowing down?

[Quester]

I probably go into WA/WB mode here and call down. The problem is that you are going to be afraid of half of the deck. Any T or 6 makes a 4-straight, and any diamond makes a 3-flush. Still, I want my aces to see a showdown if at all possible. I'd call the flop minraise, check/call the turn, and check/fold the river.

i thought i have to get my money in if im favourit.

[Quester]

I doubt you are a favorite here, probably a slight dog.

It can't can it? When I said "I go into WA/WB mode," I meant I try to get to showdown for relatively cheap but I'm not willing to commit. Yes, I understand that what I posted is confusing. Sorry about that.

np....am i the only one who just gives up on this turn and considers taking quester's conservative line starting on the flop?

You don't go into call down mode on a board like this. It is way too drawy. His flop min-raise makes it appear he is on a draw. You are ahead of draws. Sure you could only be 50/50 against a combo draw here, but you already have money invested so winning less than 50% is still +EV.

I'd make a bigger flop raise, I'm thinking ~$26 to $28 range. Turn isn't great, but of the draws holding a 6x hand is least likely IMO. I like the push there. River obviously kills your hand.
