Default Re: did i play this like a chickenshit?

why are you afraid to bet the turn, opening yourself up to a checkraise from a possible turned heart draw? Say your read is right and your opponent holds AX hearts. If you check, you give him a free ride and what comes will come, killing your hand 20% of the time. If you bet, a turned heart draw will definitely call you and MISS most the time.. might as well put more money into the pot when u have the best of it right? It's about 24-1 to hit running flush cards.. if they come then sh*t happens but the other 24 times you are gonna have made him pay to miss..
