Default Re: A2o from late

I also like betting this turn. Two things can go wrong if you check this turn with the intention of raising:
1) It could get checked around.
2) You could get 3 bet by a better hand.

Sometimes when the pot is large enough you should still check with the intention of raising in this spot despite the 2 bad things that can happen, becuz a bet cannot protect your hand from a gutshot or other weak draws, and you think a guy in late position will bet if you check. But in your situation the pot is not that big, and a turn bet already forces any weak draw to call incorrectly or fold correctly so just betting is better than checking and raising IMO. To put it in other words, the risk/reward ratio is not favorable enough to make check raising the better option than betting in this situation.
