Im assuming I should have checked back the turn for pot control, bet folding seems pretty bad. What do you guys think about my turn line?
Poker Stars $200+$15 No Limit Hold'em Tournament - t75/t150 Blinds - 9 players
The Official 2+2 Hand Converter Powered By DeucesCracked.com

UTG: t7425 M = 33
UTG+1: t11445 M = 50.87
UTG+2: t8225 M = 36.56
MP1: t11570 M = 51.42
MP2: t16740 M = 74.40
Hero (CO): t9000 M = 40
BTN: t7200 M = 32
SB: t7545 M = 33.53
BB: t10850 M = 48.22

Pre Flop: (t225) Hero is CO with 9

1 fold, UTG+1 raises to t400, 3 folds, Hero calls t400, 2 folds, BB calls t250

Flop: (t1275) 6

(3 players)
BB checks, UTG+1 bets t800, Hero calls t800, BB folds

Turn: (t2875) 6

(2 players)
UTG+1 checks, Hero bets t1400, UTG+1 raises to t10245 all in, Hero folds

I think you gotta fold after betting, not really beating anything here but overs + flush draw, this is never a bluff,

I think checking is prob better vs random here, I think u can get better value on river and yeah it sucks as you gotta b/f

Thoughts?

I think bet/folding this turn against a random is fine.

ok, for some reason when I made the bet the thought that he was check raising AK with a flush draw or something there made checking the turn back seem ok.

I like checking behind on turn as you might catch some bluffs on river.

Agreed, our hand is weak and vulnerable and we're not getting value on most rivers.

i play it the same. not enough 6x in an utg+1 range to not bet, in the mill he's mostly c/c or c/f worse hands & barrelling draws/better hands.

what do you guys do if utg+1 bets 1800 ott?
