[5NL] AQo, 3bet pot, turn decision.

The thing with checking on the turn is that you need to have some balance.

The fact that I don't think you ever check KQ, KK and other good hands which beat paired kings would tell me that if I had a K in my hand I had you beat.

I personally thing you should be betting the turn, as your cbet range on the flop includes a lot more K type hands than your checking range does so it doesn't give away your strength.


A Question for you:

If the river is a dead card say a 2, what do you do to the BTNs bet?

Nah, not really.

Still completely gives away his hand strength. Which was the more important point.

I said what I said because of the opponent. It's okay if we give away our hand strength because he's not going to pick up on that information. Knowing what a balanced strategy looks like in this spot is fine as long as you realize that it's there as a reference point so that you know how to adjust to different opponents.

If he wanted balance, he could just add a semi-bluffing range.
