Default Re: another let\'s discuss on all streets ... turn especially

I honestly dont mind the way you played it here. You couldve lead the turn there, but c.c works too. Each play has its merits:

Check call: Good for pot control, many PFR will fire at the turn when checked to (in my experience at least), cant raised or forced out of the pot, passive, doesnt get info from villian, puts you in relative position

Lead turn: Helps to define villians hand, more aggresive play, allows you to escape the hand if raised, may take the pot down, build a bigger pot, still OOP.

Each play has its merits but in the situation where you are WA?WB, I think the pot control aspect of check calling is better, but I hate being in the dark on a hand. Leading is very close IMO, it just depends a lot on the villian and how hero feels in the hand.
