Default Re: Proper AA turn play?

You're right that you opponent is correct to call the turn bet if he's on a flush draw. But he's EVEN MORE correct to see the river for free if you let him.

Your second paragraph is basically the reason why you're betting. HU on the turn, every bet that goes into the pot is +EV for you and -EV for the flush draw. Note that even though it is right for your opponent to call (due to the overlay the pot provides), the turn bet itself is -EV for him.

This is one of many, many situations in which you cannot protect your hand, but you should still bet for value.
