Tough board. I probably play the same.

But I have been experimenting in these situations with something. I don't think it would be a crime against humanity to check and call this board from the turn.

Reason being, depending on the player a lot of times you are going to just fold worse hands (ie no more value is forthcoming). Also there is enough of a chance that you are now behind, and really free cards are not a huge problem here.

I did this a coule times tonight, and managed to pick up some bets that I otherwise would not have gotten.

I c/r this flop to improve my chances of chasing out UTG+1 and MP. Call down if 3bet, lead turn HU if only called, check/call river (to induce bluff if ahead and lose the min if behind).

I wouldn't feel bad about folding the turn.

Re: Two pair on crappy board
 

I'm dropping this on the turn. You beat almost no logical hands here.

I wouldnt mind a flop C/R maybe. I mite dump it on the turn in this case though.
