Bets more flop, bets the turn.

Rebuy pre-hand.

Bet 20ish on the turn. Did the J change anything?

Since you checked, it's much more difficult to tell if he's on a draw or not. I think you gotta call this (assuming no reads).

The only hand he beats that we beat is KQ in my opinion. So folding cant be too bad. I fold.

[jetsetboy]

bet turn, as played call river.

[bigslicknuts]

Is this a horrible spot to try to practice some pot control?

I think flop bet is fine.

Definitely bet turn, though. Nice pot sized bet.

New to NL so I am still learning the game. That being said; Not betting the turn put you in a horrible position on the river. Villain is betting pretty much any river card.

why are you playing AQ if you are afraid to bet when you hit? You have to pot the flop and I am 2/3 pot on the turn. You showed weakness - If i am villian I am betting that river too.

bet pot flop and 2/3 pot turn.
