At first i bet the turn thinking "it's helpful to have some Ax that can bet turn and x/c river".  The more i look at it though, the equity that i deny him with the slim number of FD's or gutters that he has in his range isn't all that realizable .. considering he's still got a significant amount of stronger hands than mine in his turn range.  So i sort of hate my line and i'm starting to see less of a reason to have a bet turn --> x/call river line in a spot where it doesn't seem all that necessary to protect my river checking range if i'm betting a much more polarized turn range (since IP doesn't see me check river much when i'm following thru so often).

Or if i did want to have a bet turn x/c river line, i think i need to do it with like AT for it to be effective in that line ... and then that brings problems b/c if villain knows my river x/c range only consists of AT, he stops v-betting A9 and i'm wishing i wouldve bet river myself. 

Thoughts appreciated
