huh?

Specifically the turn and river. Villian in this hand hadn't gotten out of line as far as I could tell.

It's fine. I'm guessing you're folding to a 3-bet?

It's headsup and you showed aggression PF and bet the flop. Why wouldn't you bet the turn? Are you going for a free card?

[Gravy (Gravy Smoothie)]

Normally I do, but lately when I'm in this position heads-up against the small blind I have been more inclined to check the turn if my hand doesn't have showdown value unimproved (if I had AQ I'd probably bet the turn and take a free showdown on the river). Here I felt that SB would likely call down with any pair and maybe Ace high, so I figured I'd take a free card and check/fold the river unimproved.

I also thought if I hit on the river I might be able to extract an extra bet because my opponent would be inclined to bet the river with more marginal holdings, allowing me to safely raise.

I dunno how legit this thought process is, which is why I posted the hand.
