I think its easy to think that your hand is usually good and you should therefore bet but the situation isn't as favorable as it looks. Even tough your hand is good the majority of the time on this turn, if you bet and he calls and a diamond, heart, 5, 6, ten, or jack comes you're gonna have a bluff catcher. A decent player in villain's position is gonna be able to steal a ton of equity from hands like 98 and AA on those rivers just by bluffing a decent range.
So I prefer not concerning myself too much with protection on a turn where I know he has 10 outs or so but I don't know which 10 they are. Keep his range wide and rep a weaker range and hope that he bluffs a wider range or value bets worse like TT/JJ.
As played I'd fold I guess.
Thanks for the great response.
I've not got too much experience in deep 3b pots OOP so this spot was a little foreign to me. As soon as i made the bet, intuitively - i felt that something was wrong. I guess now i have to figure out what my barrel range should look like on this turn card, and whether or not I should even have one. Might be best to c/c draws as well as bet some. It's difficult to work out a c/r range with these stacks as whatever hand that c/r's here has decent equity and is at risk at getting shoved over the top of. Deep stack poker is pretty interesting.
