yeah agree jym, i think u may be right for the most part, but if im calling the flop for pot control, leading the turn makes about zero sense and allows me to get bluffed off the best hand the times he decides to semi bluff his draw. also as i stated in my OP if i raise the turn, im basically committing myself, so i kinda dont see how i have much of a choice.

and playing AJ in that spot is $$$$
