No way I check that turn even against that aggro of a player. Your ahead of a bunch of aces, a Q, and any gutter he would have peeled the flop with.

If you get raised it's a pretty easy calldown I think. But I don't play 50/100.

My standard play all along has been to bet the turn here. But the thing is, even though I have TPTK this is a situation where I don't want a lot of bets going in, because if so I'm going to be behind a good majority of the time, but if I am raised I am bound to the pot by the slight chance I might be ahead and the chance I have to improve. Also since the pot is pretty small do I really mind somebody drawing to 2-4 outs?

This villain seems too loose to consider checking. Against a tighter player I could see it.

KQ and QT have 6 outs. EDIT: So do KK and TT but they'd probably also 3-bet preflop.

I bet the turn because a player like this might try a bluff on the scare card, especially if you've shown an ability to fold. If you're gonna call down anyway, might as well give him a chance to bluff multiple bets as well as call down with a worse hand.

He will pay you off with a worse hand plenty often enough that you want to bet. He may also bluff the J or pay another BB for the gutter.
