Why the turn check? call.

[MrDrunkie]

I also often check the turn. Potcontrol, the board is pretty dry.

I bet ~3/4 pot on river. As played, I call.

[creamfillin]

lol we have aces against an unknown at 10NL last thing i'm thinking right now is pot control

At 10NL i'm usually just straight valuebetting every street here.

Since you checked turn i think you have to call, given that you under- repped your hand somewhat.

Dry board may be right, but if you consider preflop call, I would only put him on a middle PP or AK-AJ. You could exclude setting a flop after checking the turn. So after his raise on the river, I put him in the range AQ or even QQ. But QQ may be exluded as well, because he checked the turn - and shouldn`t.

As played it is an easy call. And you should have betted - not called ;-) turn...

valuebet this all the way... call river. The preflop raise seems a little bit bigger than the usual. But as long as there's no telling the strength of your hand by the size of your bets it's ok....

[HighSteaks]

I definately bet the turn and the river - as played call.

[woohoo88]

I thought the turn might be a small mistake. I tend to exercise pot control a little too often I think.

FWIW if the flop contained two spades would that be a proper time to check the spade turn?

Not with the big raise you've made preflop, I'm betting my hand for value and not even thinking until he makes a substantial move.
