Fold ...
1) You have blockers to draws;
2) Insufficent equity;
3) Opponent plays $1/$2 NL and has put $1k in the pot.

I think you played the hand fine until now. I would have gone a bit smaller ott.

This is very important.

I think it's a fold ap, you're crushed imo.

As played, it's a fold.

But if you're going to bet the turn, you should've made it a pot-sized bomb so that, if you are shipped on, you now have the right odds to call.

Off table read is that V has only 4 combos that continue via ck-r and you have 2-1 against those.

I don't agree that turn has to be a bet-c nor Doms thought on sizing up to make for a better call-off size.. While the latter is logical, potting the turn likely isn't necessary to get an immediate fold and leaves zero room for a riv barrel.

I thought about that but intrinsically feel doing that is wrong, it's a self fulfilling prophecy that makes the first large bet polarized to either too much fold equity or a guarantee of getting stacks in as a dog.
