AK TPTK dry board

villain is 32/16 over 25 hands. Not much else to go on. Havn't seen him before this table. I consider checking behind turn because there's a lot of money behind and it's so easy to put me on a hand. Easy stack-off though right?

I can't see how you can get away from this, i mean maybe if he had a bigger stack...
It seems like it's likely he has you beat but there's just too little to put him on. I mean 33 kinda makes sense. A2s makes sense if he's loose. But yeah I'm getting stacked there everytime

I think these are pretty good arguments for a turn check, no? But I think if you bet the turn, you should be willing to play for stacks with TPTK here.

the only bad thing checking behind on turn does is give the flush draw a free card.

but it will win you bets against a small pair sometimes and usually gets another bet from another king. also, you lose less when they have a 2.
