i exaggerate, but i really do feel like this is happening to me at least 6 or 7 times out of 10. am i running bad, or is this what i should expect in this game?

I don't play 10/20, and I don't do the turn c/r bluff very often, but this exactly the type of board I'd try it on.

[SparkyDog]

This board is pretty raggy and you don't have showdown value. Anyone else think these are two good reasons to check the turn?

Not sure I like the UTG raise until one knows how to respond to these situations too.

no, bet this turn and then do check the turn when you have showdown value.

In an game like that or againast a player with high turn aggression, is it better to check a weak hand on the turn with showdown value rather than value-betting the turn? like an unimproved AK or 3rd pair HU.

I guess my question is:

Is it better to value bet the turn HU in position in aggressive games, where you risk getting checkraised and then have to decide whether to call the turn and river bet

-or-

is it better to check through the turn with a marginal holdings HU in position at risk of giving an opponent infinite odds with what ever he's holding so that you maybe induce a bluff and you certainly dont get pushed off the winner.

I'm playing 5/10 6 max right now and relentlessly value-betting is the best option there but I'm rapidly approaching a 10/20 6-max bankroll and want to get ready for what I might see their and maybe higher.
