Villian was unknown. Standard?

Some say check to induce river bet, and its fine. Some say bet turn for value and its also just fine.

hm but do we really want to play for stacks with TPGK here?
If we vb the turn we are comitted...

[natzucowww]

I like it, the board's not too coordinated and the check induces a bet from a weaker ace or a bluff on the river.

[DanJ.]

ya, i play the same, if the pot was smaller on the turn i probably would have bet/folded.

[Hottentott]

Actually the more I think of it the more I feel like betting the turn, if you bet 30 on turn there must still be room for a fold if villains pushes?

I just feel we're leaving a bunch of value from a lesser ace in these type of situation.

standard v unknown, against a bad-loose player bet the turn and play for stacks.

Looks okay...you can bet the turn too.

[Stealthy]

You played it fine although I would tend to bet a little more on the flop but that is just me being nitty. Turn is essentially a blank so can be bet but I tend to check against an unknown.
