You should check back on the turn. By betting you do not represent many hands except AK, other hands would probably have bet the flop unless you are slowplaying a set. But a set would probably have bet the flop as well.

Also because you did bet the turn it is easy for your oponent to push you off AK, because he might think that AK is the most probably holding you have. But at the same time it is hard for you to call even if you think he might be bluffing.

I also think that you should c-bet the flop.

On the turn it is definitely a fold imo.

On the flop, I think the board is great for a cbet bluff. You have nut-BDFD, gutshot, overcards and you could be holding AA or KK for all villain knows. If you get raised then, you can fold or call depending on the size.

If villain in fact bluffed you on the turn, it would be more difficult for him to try that after you cbet the flop and 2nd barrel the turn.

I agree with the fold as played, on turn.

This is good thinking. Checking back might be best, at least against an opponent able to think by himself. But in the heat of the battle, I'd probably bet-fold myself, especially when multi-tabling (only one brain cell available).

What part of his range do you think he is going to fold to a c-bet on the flop?

99- except AK/AQ/KQ/98s (to the extent he has these hands, it is after all 4-bet)

"Making him fold" is not the only reason to bet. But checking flop is a valid option too.

I think that cbetting the flop 1/3 would be an option. We have some value and draw potential (equity) and some fold equity. As played, probably only AQ from worse hands will call the turn, so checking back might be better. As played, I believe we have to fold vs raise.
