Just curious, as I don't play anymore. What is the point of betting the turn? What would a turn bet hope to accomplish? Are we turning TT into a bluff by trying to rep a J? Do we think A hi hands are calling? Are we trying to protect ourselves from a river overcard? Betting turn just seems to go against everything I know as a player, unless we are turning it into a bluff, and in that case, we gotta bet turn AND bomb river.

First off, not playing? What?
Small Turn bet for me does a few things:
W betting $100 ott...
-I take control of pot.
-cd rep the J and set up a river jam.
-it blocks his river betting much more of the time w his overpairs. Which cd result to me losing less. *If I check turn he is DEF betting overpairs and I prob lose more than $100.
-it charges him w hands likes AK AQ if he wants to float there.
-it charges him w small pairs or folds out his small pairs.
I don’t think I get raised ott too much of the time either. As I believe my hand has a J more times than his. If I get raised, I fold.
I think I cd hv played it better.
