Default Re: 2/4 Straight flush draw line check

Don't like your turn bet. What are you trying to represent and what can he have?

That K is trouble for you. His min-raise doesn't mean so much, he can have a wide range of hands (folded to him on the button). He probably have a weak ace or maybe even just a weak king (if you have been betting your draws before).

Either way the turn king will make it harder for you to convience him to fold a hand that he was willing to call a pot-size bet with at the flop because you must have a loose aggressive table image if he should believe that you have a king and bet out middle pair out of position at the flop against a preflop raiser. Or you must have tight weak image preflop and an AGGRESSIVE image preflop if he should believe that you play AK like this. I think that a lot of players slows down with a board like that, both if they have a full house or TPGK. Your play will probably make him suspicious if you holding anything good at all.

EDIT: Basically what I'm saying is that there is a good chance he have a decent hand or better that he will not fold. And in case he have a weak hand, your turn bet (trying to represent a strong hand in a way that don't fit in good with any normal table image) can make him hold harder against his hand.
