Re: Poorly Played?
The problem with that is that you might miss out on the opportunity to take the pot right there. He might call you on the river with Ace high having put you on a busted straight draw (assuming a river blank). Plus, he might just have a king which he ain't folding and you are now putting in two bets on the turn when you only have 15 outs. Granted, that's a lot of outs but you are still an underdog to a King or any one pair hand (like Qx) that he is not folding.
In general, I find that it does not pay to get overly aggressive on the turn in heads-up situations (particularly when you give up position). Turn raises are best reserved for multiway pots.
