I thought the board was better for villains range so I decided to check, I was going to check call but half way through changed my mind and went for check raise, what do you think here , should we not check-raise because villain has nut advantage? should we just c-bet flop for larger sizing? I thought there could be very many bad turn cards and decided to raise for protection/value. How do you play this ?
wasn't quite sure how to perceive villains small turn bet, but I thought the 5s was a good card for his range,
