Horrible turn card

[slowplayj]

I like the turn check because you don't want to get check-raised but now villain knows you don't have an A. Call the river as you're ahead of villain a good % of the time.

Guess I am the only one who likes a turn bet here. Maybe I'm coming down with something?

Are you folding to a c/r or calling down?

CD. I guess I am just use to playing my trip hands really fast. I know that turn card does suck but I play this fast till I meet resistance. I'll have to think about this more cause everyone seems to be in favor of the turn check.

Everyone explain the turn check. Not saying it is wrong or right just want some further chat on it cause you all pretty much agree that the T/C was the way to go here. We just playing defense now?

I like the turn check because:

1. It is hard to see many hands you beat calling you if you bet.
2. If you bet, a player who "is not afraid to bluff" can check-raise you. Since he is not afraid to bluff, you have to call him down, which I think is bad.
3. If you check the turn, you could induce a bluff on the river.

Basically, I think checking the turn lets you lose the minimum when behind and win the maximum when ahead.

Thanks Jesse, makes more sense to me now.

all the comments on turn check to induce river bluff are standard and make perfect sense; I would normally take this line against default villan.

but OP said villain is loose/aggro, likes to bluff and plays 80% of hands. why not bet the turn precisely to induce that bluff C/R and expected river bet?
