Re: A common Scenario (Turn Play)?
The usual consensus is to bet hands with few outs (because a raise tells you to throw them away), and check hands that have reasonable outs (because being raised puts you in a nasty spot).
That said all things being normal, against 2 players first to act with a pocket pair when an overcard falls on the turn I usually bet because unless the turn improved your outs you may only have 2 outs to a set.
Your opponents allways have something to do with it. Habitual bluffers may fire at this overcard and against certain ones it's better to check (esspescially if the turn is a K instead of an A since people are more likely to play any ace) and maybe induce a bluff.
Your position is also a factor, if it checks to me I almost allways bet cause a c/r is (generally) a sign of more strength and gives me more certainty to folding to that raise.
As I said though OOP, against 2 non-trickey or unknown opponents, when I have no more then my set outs, my standard line is bet/fold.
