I took a shot at NL50 and got crushed so I'm looking for some leaks. Villain is 37/.7/.7, so I put him on a wide flop range including Q's, draws, PP's, and air.

Do you bet this turn?

I hate situations like this vs loose players.
If you have any stats on him like how often he folds flop/turn/river bet, a bet could be justified.

I usually play it similiar to your line.

well played imo.

againsst these guys, you should only bet turn for value, and occasionaly w/ draws. Gutshot + 2 overs is good too.

Pretty bad turn card to 2barrel. Hits a lot of hands that were peeling (open ended straight draw, gutterball) and makes a pair + draw a ton.

I don't see any real value from betting again. I guess you could get value from a flush draw, but that is no where near 50% of his range there so I wouldn't advice in it. Just check it down and hope he whiffed with some draw.

Turn is not a good place to double barrel and I think villain looks you up on river with any hand better than yours. You might fold out a badly played AK, but I wouldnt even bet on that. There is no real reason to bet. Checking behind and hoping he missed or peeled with AT is your best bet.

Thanks guys, I thought I played it ok but wanted to make sure I'm getting it right in these standard situations.

Villain turned over KhTh for the busted draw and MHIG.
