50NL QQ, top set on flop

No real reads on SB. Does look like AK ?

Should I check on turn for pot control?

There's no need to show us that he called your turn push or to show us the river.

This could be AK. It could also be AA,KK,JJ,TT, possibly AQ, a little less possibly KQ.....maybe even 99.

You played the hand well IMO.

There's no way you should check this turn. Yes, we're losing to AK, but we have outs to beat that, and we're ahead of a lot, too. If we give SB a free chard, any 9, K, A is going to effectively shut you down. We need to get as much money in on the turn as possible. Shove.

Lol at pot control with top set and the 4th nuts

on a flop this dryish (you're only scared of AK, and have a ton of outs against that) you wanna betbetbetbet. Get your money in, as fast as you can get it called.

I would bet just a little bit more on the flop. If you bet like $13 it's easier to get it in on the turn.

I'd be hella scared of AK but I dont think this is a hand I can lay down. AK's only a small part of his range.

easiest turn push ever?
if he flips AK
<----bbv is thataway
oh and pre flop I definitly raise or fold since your have less than 100BB's.

Oh yeah, and even if you do check it for pot control, there's no guarantee he won't just shove on the river in which case you have to make a tough decision. Also you're giving him free cards which is never good.
