Default Re: Bet turn?

Against most people I bet the turn here. Very few people in this game will check/raise the turn with a worse hand and very few people call the turn and then lead the river with a better hand. So you can very safely bet the turn/fold to a check-raise and then check behind on the river if just called on the turn. He is quite likely drawing on this board and you will let him draw for free by checking behind.

Checking behind on the turn is only good if he will check/raise a worse hand on the turn or if he will bet a worse hand very often on the river when you check behind on the turn. You probably will gain a few bluffs here, but you will very rarely get check/raised by a worse hand on the turn and it looks like he is drawing so I prefer to get my value in on the turn when I can instead of on the river when who knows what the river will bring to kill my hand or my action.
