Hi,

you have to ask yourself what is the purpose of your turn bet? Is it a value bet or a bluff? Is it neither? Because to me it seems you are playing this spot without a plan here. By far the best turn line is to c/c. It's a spot where you are either waaaaay ahead, or have 25% equity at best vs a flush. And if you bet, you are getting the hands that are drawing dead vs you to fold, while the hands you have less than 25% to call; both plays are bad for us.

Always ask yourself what is your bet trying to achieve in a spot when you have a hand. If the answer is "nothing", then checking is probably better :)

Regards,

Skod
