0.5/1$ - How to play the turn?

My movement on the turn is weak. Maybe it was because my equity on the turn down much against his range (from 60% flop to 39% turn). I propose the following line and you tell me what you think:


x/r flop * bet/fold turn (39% EQ) * x/call river (if not complete draws to induce some bluffs)

The turn check, I think it's very bad. I'm telling my opponent that I have a weak hand that I want to get to the river. The bet with his best hands, and play with their worst hands check.
I do not really like the turn bet but I think it is the only option. He pay any FD, GS and pockets..
Another option would have played call on the flop, I think it's a weak play...

$0.50/$1 Limit Hold'em Cash, 4 Players

Preflop: Hero is BB with 4 K
CO raises, 2 folds, Hero calls

Flop: (4.5 SB) 3 7 K (2 players)
Hero checks, CO bets, Hero raises, CO calls

Turn: (4.3 BB) A (2 players)
Hero checks, CO checks

River: (4.3 BB) Q (2 players)
Hero bets, CO calls

Results: 6.3 BB pot (0.3 BB rake)
Final Board: 3 7 K A Q
Hero showed 4 K and won 5.9 BB (2.9 BB net)
CO showed 8 8 and lost (-3 BB net)

By your own reasoning, you don't have the equity to bet. Then what is wrong with checking?

It does not matter much that he thinks you are weak. What matters most is that you are weak. Only strong flushdraws will surely call that you beat (and most of these have the A♣: ).

GG, what about you move vs CO betting turn after you check?

@YohanN7 Agree with you. It is a complicated situation, I need to know the opinion of others to stay calm
@NaugrimMIan Would have a very complicated situation... for this reason I posted the hand here. The truth is that if I would bet on the turn would have a very complicated situation. I'm giving the possibility of bluffing.. In my opinion, the turn it´s the most dificult street of FLHE

Ty anyway!

You are undoubtedly going to become (are already) a good FL player because you ask yourself and others the right questions. I personally believe that we should include in our ranges hands that move from being value to bluff catchers (and vice versa of course, i.e. bluffs sometimes turn into value) and even folds. Maybe redskwrl could chip in?
