I have to improve my turn play...

[criminaldave]

especially if i'm going to play these gapped suited connectors.

Villain is unknown as he has just sat down. Limp call preflop suggests to me that he has a small-medium pocket pair, two broadway cards or A9-AJ. I may be wrong. Flop is a standard c-bet for me. His check-calling suggests some sort of weak ace or maybe even KQ. I pick up more outs on the turn so I now need a plan for the rest of the hand. What do you do?

I think you have to bet for FE.

I think betting here is OK. Villain looks like he's got some sort of weak one pair type hand. You probably have decent fold equity, and if not, you have lots of outs to improve.

[criminaldave]

okay. how much do you bet and what is your plan for the rest of the hand?

[minSim]

About 2/3 pot.
River when missed:
- If villain bet, we fold
- If villain checks, we can try to take it down with 2/3 to full PSB (that's my opinion though, would like to here others)

River when hit really depends on the card.

[Chaos_ult]

I'm just going to give up on any blank river. On the turn i'd bet around 20-22. If he decides to crai on the turn, I think you're pretty much committed getting around 2-1 with anywhere between 12-15 outs.

I'm checking. I don't like double barreling A-high boards.

Keep betting. River I give up missed because he usually has an ace. He's usually folding the rest.

I'd bet the turn, and decide on the river UI whether to bluff or not.
