i had initiative.

flop is:9,2,2. turn: another 2. how do u play in such case? i can bet against overcards. i can c/c, cause full houses would raised me and i charged myself too much to draw to 6 outer.

oh now when i write that, i would probably get raised on flop for value and protection from my opponent ih he had pair.

so bet turn again agains overs,weaker aces?

yeah i think its a safe bet to make on the turn. at least i dont see anything wrong with it. If he has a 9 or any PP he raises and you can fold if you are sure he means buisness. (some timing tell etc perhaps)

id bet against king highs and ace highs and expect to take it home on the turn a decent amount of the time.

It's an easy bet. Consider all the worse overcards he could have and most of the time your opponent has just overcards and no pocketpair. Consider that you just hit 33% of the time when having 2 Overcards like QJ. He could peel once again and another reason for betting is that you have another good bet if the river is a blank, lets say a 5. You might even get called down by Kx. If it's HU and i'm facing a raise i would calldown because this board misses your opponents range too often and unless he's got some pocketpairs or 9x he cannot really represent that much und AK is the best unimproved hand. With a read it's possible to play bet/call and fold to a riverbet but against unknown i'll see the showdown. Let this be a 3handed Pot. You should bet though if nobody has shown any strenght.
