    Default turn bet

    What do we think villain has here?

    I think we could be beat on the river, but I'm not convinced that we're behind on the turn.

    What hand that beats us on the turn, bets the pot when we check to them? Would a boat or 10 really bet the pot there?

    Though I can certainly see the backdoor FD betting the pot on the turn, and he just completed on the river.

    Is a turn raise spew? I think we're ahead on the turn.. but maybe I'm reading too much into bet sizes?..

    I should've said there's a bet-pot button - it's common for people to just hit that instead of sizing their own bet, so betting pot doesn't say much about lots of people's hands.
    On the turn I thought there was a pretty good chance I was ahead as well because it seemed likely he would float me. I didn't raise since I had no idea if I was wa, wb, or 80/20 vs a floatinng flush draw and figured raising would mostly fold the hands I was ahead of on this board.

    I don't know what a better line is, but am starting to think I sould've just led the turn and folded to a raise. Anyway it sucks playing oop without reads.
