Is betting the turn +EV though?

Whats your reasoning?

How many outs are all of the "turn betters" giving us?
Are we ahead of drawing?
is our opponent folding?
What is our equity?


i think we miss the river and are behind to often to bet the turn.

Also IF WE BET AND HE RAISES we're getting 7:1 and with 6 outs we can call.

I dont like the turn bet, Please argue your point though - id like a conclusion here [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

If you often check the turn and fold the river, even the dumb bad players will pick up on this and start peeling and then betting when you check.

That turn doesn't really help a lot of his flop peeling hands. So if we were ahead on the flop we are good on the turn. If he was ahead to begin with, oh well that's the breaks. We will more than make up for it when we're betting top pair ALL THE WAY and get called down. Don't forget that we have outs and can improve to the winner, so we don't need him to fold. Neither does getting called on the turn mean we are behind. I get called all the time on the turn with absolute crap.
