Default Re: Big pot with TPTK

The turn bet really messed this hand up. A flush draw is probably going to stay in for that price, which means you have no idea where you're at on nearly any river card. I'd bet more on the turn and then just put in the rest on any river card (assuming you're willing to put in your entire stack). I don't like checking the river because your opponent will generally call with more hands than he'll bet with in this spot, but it's sorta messed up by the fact that he might still be in there on a flush draw (I don't think a flush draw bluffs often enough to make this a check though).

Another option with these stack sizes is to checkraise all-in on the turn, although I don't know if typical players in this game are aggressive enough to make this your best move.

I don't like playing pots this big with one pair but as far as I can see, the only two ways to avoid it here are to find a way to fold postflop, or to change your preflop play.
