the situation he described (raise UTG with AQo, CO cold caller, flop J86, bet and get called. turn 5, what now?) is easily one of the toughest decisions we face on a day to day basis. nate says bet, which I'm assuming means fold to a raise. well, being suspicious I tend to call down raises on boards where I feel there's a good chance I'm against a draw and often get shown nothing. I really really don't like bet-folding in general, especially on draw-heavy boards. he makes good points about why checking is bad, but getting pushed out of the pot is a big reason to not bet. I don't know which is better. I think if you check the turn a lot you need to checkraise the turn more often, which is something I don't do enough of.
