25nl - ak turn ?

[johndenver]

i think a leak in my game is that i am too scared of the turn check raise... should I be betting this turn, if yes how much? 2 pair or straight seemed likely to me

I probably bet/fold this turn against an unknown, you have to charge all the draws out there.

turn is a toss up between pot control and charging the draws.

i think the overall ev difference between the two lines depends largely on the propensity of your opponent to bluff the busted draw on the river, whether he will draw with incorrect odds and whether you can actually fold to a river bet.

i personally prefer to bet the turn against an unknown as whilst theres value likely to be gained there (lots of players will draw incorrectly) we cant be confident in our villain's ability to bluff the river.

[BishopsFinger]

oh and as played the river call is fine.

[Spinners]

II think all of the advice given is awful.

How can you possibly check this turn? Bet pot!

This board is so drawy, any K, or club puts you in an awkward spot you have to bet to protect your hand and charge the draws.

River call is fine as played.
