If you are going to check-raise that turn, I think I like just an open-bet instead (button might just take a free card there).
Yeah-- the CR AI on the turn was as transparent as they come. But the with the villain's huge flop bet, the pot was going to reach critical mass whether I bet or just came along for the ride IMHO.

Better to lead the flop here? I know I'm rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic with this exact example but if I could have played the hand better, even with the same result (I don't see how I get away from this with that river card and I don't see the villain folding with the OESD on the turn) it's worth discussion (for me at least).
