top set, coordinated board

No real read on villain, other that he called a pfr with ATo in position and doubled up when 3 aces came on the board.

Is the turn check really bad? It is my standard line for full-ring - should it be a bet at 6-max? Easy river call?

Thanks

think about what villain would do with a hand that beat you if you bet the turn and think about what villain would do with a hand that you beat if you bet the turn.

don't be one of these "I bet the turn because I want to be aggressive and I don't know what to do" types.

river is a call.

easy call IMO. You bet the flop and checked the turn. He's trying to steal. He'd prolly bet the turn if he had a straight, as there is the flush draw out there and he'd want to juice the pot a little bit.
