Thanks Jeff, interesting reading and I've enjoyed your contribution. Pretty pissed right now so will re-read tomorrow when I can absorb your most recent post a little better.

I can certainly accept your point regarding checking through the turn with an intention to call a river bet as perhaps being optimal. I still don't regard betting the turn as a specific mistake. Perhaps just different styles/approaches. Ironically my turn AF is usually lower than most other solid winners so it's strange that I can't fully subscribe to checking through. Ho-hum.

FWIW, when discussing stuff like this I tend to overstate my points, so don't take me calling a turn bet "a mistake" as more than it is. I'm simply looking at the merits of the plays and saying which I think is better and why.

But I've been wrong before. I'd like to hear the thoughts of some other posters on this subject. I actually think the turn is an interesting spot because of how well I think your range is defined to villain, but I may be overestimating this so hearing other opinions would be useful.
