Default Re: TPTK, controlling the pot size question

there's no reason to bet the turn.

To make more money off your TPTK? Don't you think you would have been checkraised/bet into if you were beat?

Also, if he was going for the c/r, he will bet the river every time. If you do not bet the turn, you will not know if he's bluffing because you showed weakness on the turn, or if he's really got you beat.

If you bet the turn and he just calls, you will probably be able to check the river behind. If you are raised, you can get away easily. If he suddenly wakes up on the river and pushes, you can lay it down too. This is the biggest difference with checking behind IMO: if you check behind and he bets a blank river, you practically have to call him, because you will induce many bluffs following your line.

Not saying that you're wrong and I'm right, but what do you think of this?
