Blind steal-like situation vs. passives.

Opponents are pretty passive. Who likes my turn bet?

[Nate tha' Great]

I'd take the free card.

What hands do you see him calling with on the flop that he'll now fold on the turn? There is a good chance that you'll be check-raised here.

Thanks Nate. I often see recommendations for followup with a turn bet when the raiser has AK or AQ unimproved and for taking free cards with KQ,KJs, etc. Is that because with AK you are hoping for a free river showdown?
