Default Re: ($109) Too passive a line, or just right?

the point of betting the turn is not to "protect" from a flush draw (unless hes a real donk, cant see how he'd have one here)

its to

1. get more in the pot for a bigger river pot = bigger river value bet
2. he will call a turn bet here, but less often a river raise, as it looks exactly like you slowplayed
3. it gives him another opportunity to come over the top if he does have something like AQ, even AK.
4. if he has no reads on you, a diamond/broadway card could possibly kill YOUR action, scaring HIM. he doesnt know you wouldnt call pf with KQd.
