Re: Turn check-raise w/ overcards. Standard?
If the turn was a blank, the problem here is with two cards in the playing zone(T and 9) two pair or better is much more likely than in the clarkmeister example ( Q 5 6). He also had backdoor straight and flush draws. With the T and 9 out your AK outs are much worse, not too mention a K could make QJ a straight (I know thats a tiny chance though). On this board, your outs are much much more tainted than in the clarkmeister example, and the pot is slightly bigger in his example as well. Not to forget there are 4 people on the turn in your example, and 3 in clarks.
Clarkmeisters play is a good one, but it only works at the right time at the right conditions. All the factors that show in your example lead me to a fold, but change the T to a 3 or something, and the turn being a blank, It could be a good play.
