Still burning myself with top pair in heads up pots....

[Damani311]

I know everyone has been telling me "pot control" and not to bet the turn...but the flop raise implies he's on a draw raising with position for a free card......either that or he's got the hand locked up so tight he doesn't mind giving a free card....guess what theres NO WAY to tell....so reshoving the flop seems like a bad idea since we're this deep, as i'm only getting called by the hands that crush me.....anyway i don't really like checking the turn because then i'd be letting his free card play work.....main question i'm asking is how do you guys play this? Assuming you're either decently ahead or drawing almost dead.....

I would bet this turn as it gives draws even more potential. The fold is pretty standard on the end as river aggression very rarely is a bluff, but those odds sure are tempting.....

I wouldn't open with 6bb probably 3.5-4bb. you're like 175BB deep and raising so big preflop puts you in an awkward spot when you do hit top pair.
