Re: A 10/20 Hand
Obviously too late, but the turn is really the place where you want to know if your opponent peels on the flop with nothing, and will fold to a turn bet(ie. calls the flop with A2, K6 and such. If so, a bet is good, as it allows him to fold hands that have outs, and takes away his bluff, since you cant really call with King high against most opponents on the river. If the opponent is very weak, you can check the turn, because they wont bet a pair a lot of times on the river(especially if it is a high card like a J,A, which dont pair you). So you may get to check the hand down if they have a pair. If the opponent is weak, and unlikely to checkraise, that makes me even more likely to bet the turn.
Those are some things to think about when you consider betting or checking. That being said, the pot is big, and your opponent may fold a hand with outs or fold on the river if an ace comes, so I would bet it and hope he folds. If not, hope you hit the ace of spades.
