if you bet, do you see yourself getting raised by UTG+1?

would you making it 1/2 make him call, raise fold?

same question if you potted it.

any specific reads on anyone?

So far he's indicated weakness, if he raised I'd be suspicious. Would it be more likely he has an overpair than a bluff? I don't read hands as well in NL.

Also, after looking at the hand and his possible holdings, I see villain has 2-3 outs most of the time on the turn, some 4-6 out hands, and the rest ahead.

2-3 out hands (possible combos):
22-66 (30), 88 (6), TT-JJ (12), AK (12) -trouble hand for him, Ax (a lot), K9 (12), 9x (also a lot)

I know some of these aren't very likely

Their odds of improving:
2 outs 21:1
3 outs ~14:1

4-6 out hands:
T8 (16), 86 (16), JT (16), KJ (12), KT (12), A9 (12), QJ (8), QT (8), Q8 (8)

Odds of improving:
4 outs 10:1
5 outs ~8:1
6 outs ~6:1

Ahead:
AA-QQ (13), 99 (3), A7 (8), 77 (1), AQ (8), Q9 (6)


For hand protection, it doesn't really matter if I bet pot or half pot because they will be getting poor odds anyways. But perhaps I can induce more calls with 2-3 out hands by betting half to two-thirds pot? Does that seem like a good strategy? Or is it bad because it puts me in a bad spot on the river?

Because of my weaknesses, I think I should just go ahead and bet full pot on the turn, so that I know where I stand and can play the river easily. Sound good?
