Re: 80/160 straight on the turn
My initial thought is to check/call this to the river.
Krish provides an actual analysis and reason though. My reasoning is more simplisitc: I may have the best hand here but I can't fold to this guy if he raises me as he could be raising with a worse hand and I'd rather get to the river for 1BB then for 3BB and getting to a showdown for 2BB is just fine with me as I think that gives me the best balance between max'ing and min'ing.
I think the optimal amount of bets to put in would be something like 1.7BB's and I think checking and calling enables you to do that better.
