See how easy that was for me to figure out? Thats why we lead this flop and check the turn. It's a dry board. That's how you play it WA/WB

9 times out of 10 I lead this flop. It just so happens I didn't this time. I guess I was banking on Button betting, given his aggression.

As played, I am now in a difficult spot. How would you play this turn?

This is the trouble with checking the flop. Villain's actions on flop scream strength as there are no draws to call a bet and check-raise with. His original plan seemed to be giving a free turn in order to let somebody catch up a little.

Unless you have some note on this guy that he is wildly loose passive, I don't see what value you are going to get out of betting the turn. Check/fold.

Villain will have two pair or a set 90% of the time. You are either dead or drawing to 3 outs on the river.
