turn AKo.
TURN PLAY
AsKc hand in a fiarly loose and poor playing game...one guy on a cell phone commenting that this game is "harder to beat than AC" and i just laughed on the inside. 1 limper to me i raise sb (call him D. who'se kinda loose on a short stack) calls limper calls. flop is QhQd5h. both check i bet sb calls. turn is 6d, checked to me i check??. usually i bet here to prevent giving a flush draw a free card to hit but i decided against it because i wouldn't want to bet if he had a 5 a q or any pair. i'd be raised witht he q and called when i had the worst of it with a 5 with only a few outs. but if he has that draw he's getting unacceptable (from my standpoint) odds to draw if i check (i.e. i gave him infinite odds). so i really felt i should have bet here but checked. thoughts -Barron

Re: turn AKo.
i would rather bet and fold to a raise here. you are facing a potential multitude of 6-outers in addition to the already-mentioned flush draw. you have no reason to believe your hand is not best.
as a general rule, i don't check the turn when i'll be tempted to call the river unimproved.

Re: turn AKo.
Headsup with position I bet this turn most of the time. If he calls I will check behind on the river.
When you check it through on the turn in this spot, which screams weakness since you're headsup, what is your plan when/if he bets into you on the river? Betting the turn gives you a shot to take it down right there, it charges the flush draws and keeps you out of a guessing game on the river. If you are checkraised on the turn or bet into on the river after showing this much aggression, I believe you can lay it down. Thats why I bet it.

Re: turn AKo.
Depends on whether D is passive or aggressive and if he's the type of loose that will call a QQ5 flop w/ ATo or really does have a hand that justifies a call here (namely a pair, flush draw, or Q). If he's the type that will fire on the river after you checked the turn, check and pick up a bet on the end from a bluff. If not bet the turn and hope for a free showdown.
