    What's your turn move here?

    I'd lead the turn with a $8 bet. You've just made TP2K on a rather dry board; that may very well be the best hand.

    But then most worse hands fold, maybe AT,A9 hang around. No better hands fold. You aren't going to like any heat so betting turn almost turns the hand into a bluff.

    With some read that villain is on the loose + calling station side I like a bet (i.e. really likes Ax).

    I probably check/call turn and lead 1/2 PSB on most rivers (or PSB lead the river if it's checked behind). I think this gets more calls from worse hands because they don't have to fear the hammer on the river.

    {lol@me. I thought this was a no reads hand}

    definitely value betting the turn or (sometimes and with better reads) river with a loose passive read.
