    Default Did I play the turn too strong here? ($22)

    Obv I bet strong on flop because bottom 2 pair is vulnerable, and hope to get called by an A. With only one street to go though, should I have made turn bet a bit smaller trying to extract some value?

    This looks fine to me . . perhaps you could bet slightly less around 270, but looks to me that he's perhaps got another 10, weak ace or some kind of gutshot type hand JQ, 89 etc being as their is no obvious straight or flush draws out there.

    These kind of hands are always dangerous and I'm usually pretty content to pick up the pot by betting it hard and winning a smaller pot than letting villain draw to whatever outs.

    Villian said in chat that he had an A but put me on two pair, which is why I wonder if I kinda turned my hand faceup playing this line.
