Seems you bet the flop with no idea what to do on the turn.

So... why did you bet the flop? Value? Bluff? Reflex?

[steel108]

You have invested 72 out of 195 already. I c/c this turn since we have put so much into the pot already. J-J and 10-10 will probably not call a push on the turn, but they might push themselves. If he has A-K, then whatever. You shouldn't have bloated the pot so much. 3 bet to 25 pf and CB 34.

value most probably

c/f turn and block river

Preflop is fine oop. You played it well. You can safely fold...this time.

[Speedlimits]

c/f is fine.

Figured as much. Line of thinking is that most villains will bet their AK on the turn and check behind with whatever I beat so I can valuepunk them with a smallish bet on the river?

Yeah, flop was a vbet.

[JadeRedstone]

I don't get it.
How can it be a value bet if we panic once they call?

What if T's-Q's think they need to protect from an over card on the river and bet?
what if AK decide to slow play to river?

Not questioning , just trying to understand ...
