My question is whether to barrel turn or not. This is pretty common, we pick up decent equity on the turn, but not enough to happily get it in. One option here is to bet enough to be committed, but I feel like this is not the best choice in a lot of spots. Check/call is even worse imo, as we don't get paid off when we hit and can be bluffed on rivers (such as K). Check/raise could be an option as we might induce (however, Q hits our range pretty good), but then we might get a crying call from something like JT65 which has us 66-33.
What about betting ~1/4 pot? I guess it makes our hand quite transparent and tough to get value if we hit, but we can probably call a raise and might induce a call from him which lets us realize our equity. I'm not really happy though with his line. Any thoughts on this?
