Sy - I think the turn is an ugly card, but I think you have to bet it.

If you don't bet, I think you'll almost surely face a bet on the river, and then you'll have to call.

On the other hand, if you do bet, you may win the pot right here. And if you don't, you can check the river after your opponent checks.

If things go as planned, you'll invest the same amount, but with the chance of winning (by default) if you bet this turn. Your opponent is not likely to like this turn card either.

Of course, things may not go as planned.
You'd hate to face a check-raise after your turn bet, and you also don't want your opponent to suddenly come alive on the river.

So you do run a risk by betting this ugly turn card. Nonetheless, I'd bet it. By doing so, you give your opponent an opportunity to make a mistake rather than most likely having your opponent give you the opportunity to make a mistake on the next betting round.

Just my opinion.
