Bet this turn?

[Fnord]

MP1 will play just about any 2 cards and take them to the river. My guess is that he decided to stop paying me off after I took the last 3 pots from him.

SB is pretty loose/passive/horrible too.

My table image is that I've been raising a lot of hands and pushing people around.

Bet this turn? Why? My thought was I'd hate to have to call a turn raise...

Unless SB was chasing a wheel on the flop or broadway undercards (QJ, specifically) or a backdoor draw, it looks like you're behind on the turn. I guess you probably won't get checkraised on the turn by your passive opponent, but if you do get checkraised, well, it sucks to pay a big bet to discover you don't have the odds to chase a gutshot. If somehow you are best, your opponent may let you win anyway if he's unimproved on the river.

I like checking the turn with outs against this guy.
