I'm sure you know this, but there is absolutely no reason to bet that turn. Don't inflate this pot any more than it has to be. You are likely behind already or you have him drawing to 3 outs. You are now dealing with a 370 pot on the river when it should have been only 70. You could have called a reasonable bet on the river, but now you don't want to deal with 200+ calls. Yes, I am beating a dead horse here but it is a very crucial point.

Yeah I'm not sure why I posted this. I had just had a ridiculous d/c protect pulled against me and wasn't really thinking lucidly this hand. After looking at it now I see a check is pretty clear-cut.

That disconnect is indeed brutal. Glad you sucked out. I agree that the play is to check the turn here. Depending on the opponent, this could also be a muck preflop. And once you manage to get there, this is a fold to the check/raise on the turn, man.
