He called. But, what do you think about betting this turn?

pretty standard...

i have a similar hand posted to this where i deal with the unfortunate reality of getting raised after a turn bet (in a situation where i have overcards)

I never act consistantly in this situation, but I think it's usually better to bet when it's heads up and you're on a draw like this. He'll fold enough times to make it worth while, and if you get raised, it's not that bad.

Heads-up, this turn bet may be correct due to the chances you will get him to fold. Against many players, the turn bet may be correct for value. There is a cut-off somewhere, but it is not precise and somewhat player-dependent.

In any case, your opponent does not seem to like his hand very much with the flopped K. Your turn semibluff is likely fine.

I don't like the turn bet. There's not much folding equity here b/c he called 2 cold the get to the turn, how often do you think he's going to fold to one bet? The real reason I don't like it though is b/c there's too good a chance of you getting raised, and that sux b/c you're forced to call that. I rather go check/call here or possibly get a free card. If he's on a flush draw too and you both miss, you might be able to get him to fold on the river if he checks the turn.

He didn't call two cold at any time. Besides, even players who do frequently fold on the turn UI.

Oops my mistake, read the post wrong. In that case, betting out seems more correct b/c there's more folding equity there
