Imo, you played it right. I think more often then not players won't have made a straight on the turn so it's profitable to call. If the king didn't come on the turn though you'd have to lay it down..

What did he have anyway? if i would guess i think A-J, A-Q or a flush draw.


cbet a little more on the flop ~175.

i would definitely bet out on that turn, you now beat a lot of hands that called you on the flop.. Ax, 2 pair, flush draws etc... so i would b/c turn and be happy to get it in. i wouldnt say a T is a large part of his limp/call range pre-flop so im not too worried about it.

im more worried about protecting from the flush draws on the turn, because suited cards are a much bigger part of a fishy limp/call range.

if he called turn after we bet out i think c/c that blank river card will get most value from his missed draws.

This. Once you check the turn the hand plays itself really. But if you had shallower stacks I would check/shove the turn to protect.
