No reads. My 3rd hand at table, and CO's 1st.

If you're behind on the turn, and I think there's a good chance you are, then it's hard to know how many outs you can count on. There is some chance your opponents are also both on overcards, but I think the turn check-fold is fine.

that is they way i play it.

Yeah, good fold. With one opponent the decision is closer, but I think with two of them already in there, your chances of coming out of this one alive aren't that great.

Incidentally, I'd fold AQ more often here than KQ, because I don't like my ace outs with a flop like this -- too many ace-rags out there.

Whenever someone comes out betting on the turn like this against a preflop raiser, I like to check what they have and make a note. That way you'll have a better idea next time it happens.
