I called the flop to re-evaluate the turn (any other suggestions?) but I don't know how to evaluate this turn...

that is a good turn. potting it twice is certainly a strong line, but i suspect you've sucked out on a better ace quite a lot here. TT doesn't really limp-call PF, 33 and AT might do. since he is a bit short I'm happy to get it all in.

I think I prefer shoving the turn because: if he is on a FD protection+he's more likely to call now than when he misses; a [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] might kill our action. A call would be ok too.

shove is good here
