What's your play on the turn?

I bet the turn like 10

[benny999]

I probably check the flop vs someone so loose/passive.
the turn is a definite bet though...I like 10 as well, maybe 14 though.

nogenius,

I would bet $13 and fold to a raise. Valuebet a blank river for no more than ½ pot.

I don't bet the turn for anything different than your other 2nd barrels have been.

Recently with hands like these, I like a turn check/call here as I will get many opponents firing barrels as bluffs. If the turn checks behind the river you could valuebet 3/4 to a full pot and still see a call from a blank king.

I don't think it matters if you value bet the turn for less than u'd bluff, unless ur playing a regular.
