Default Weak Kings?

And if you do think this is too weak, do you prefer betting the turn or calling the river?

You bet the turn. It's a matter of getting your money in earlier than later. If you're ahead, you want to make people pay to outdraw you.

Betting the turn is alot better than calling the river. A flushdraw might only pay you off if you bet the turn, also you really don't want to give a free card to someone holding a 6, who has 5 outs to beat you and should fold to one bet.

Pretty weak tight. No reason to assume someone has the ace, bet the turn, and I would probably bet the river. Worse hands will call.

Bet the turn and bet the river.

Stop giving yourself an excuse to fold.

To me it seems that you are ahead, until told otherwise raise the turn!

I don't agree with betting the river, but you should definitely bet the turn.

With 4 other people seeing this flop, it's very likely someone has an ace. It's not definite, but I don't think it's unlikely enough to make this a river value bet. Most of the time you'll be donating rather than collecting value.

But yes bet the turn, and take the free showdown instead.
