Checking the turn II

Played about 4 orbits with Villian - He's of the 35% VP$IP variety with moderate, reasonable aggression.

What about betting the turn and taking the free showdown unless you pair an A or a K?

Although getting c/r'ed would suck

A reasonable player will bet the river most of the time if you check the turn.

If you bet the turn, you can still lead the river if you hit one of your cards and get another bet, but I doubt he'd call a river raise if an A or a K hits and he leads the turn.

I don't like your call on the river. The only thing you can beat is AQ/KQ and what A4 A5.

I think you check the turn and throw it away to a bet on the river.

I can see calling SOME river cards.

That is not one of them.

I don't like the turn check. You're likely ahead and any overs including a T or J are calling. I'd rather bet the turn, fold to a check/raise than check and call this river.

Of whichever list is smaller what cards would/wouldn't you be calling the river?

I dont think I call a T or J river.

Those are the 2 worst.
