Can you elaborate a little bit more on this:

Yes the board is drawy and our hand looks pretty,but at the same time we aren't really scared to give free cards and the range that is calling our turn bet is super unlikely to put more money in the pot on any river that doesnt improove it.What exactly makes you think that betting the turn will have higher EV than checking.

If you suggest I check back AQ and AKo, do I bet the turn with just with this single hand combination AKdd? I would think you want me to chback AA aswell as it is essentially the same as AKo.

Hand History | KuuL posted in NLHE: NL600 Tricky turn spot in squeezed pot
BB: $570.05
UTG: $678.80
HJ: $609
CO: $841.17
BN: $652.80 (Hero)
SB: $600
Preflop ($9.00) (6 Players)
Hero was dealt A K
UTG raises to $18, HJ folds, CO calls $18, Hero raises to $72, SB folds, BB folds, UTG calls $54, CO calls $54
UTG opens 15% folds to 3b 55%
CO calls 10% (3bets vs utg 4,5%)
I consider the CO as good and give him credit for taking creative lines and playing tricky.

I will squeez here pretty tight ,basicаллy AK,QQ+ and occasionaлly some suited connectors or AQo.
Flop ($225.00) 6 9 7 (3 Players)
UTG checks, CO checks, Hero checks
I could cbet here ,but since the range I'd be getting it in against will be fairly strong and I don't think that stackooff with AA here will show great profit,so I choose to checkback as I probably will with my whole range.
Turn ($225.00) K (3 Players)
UTG checks, CO checks
Here is where it gets tricky.I believe that they both will check all of their monsters as I am expected to bet Kh a lot.I think both betting and checking are viable options on this turn and they have their own advantages:

Betting:
+ we can get value from weaker hands (KQs KJs KTs QQ JJ TT 98s 87s). Against those hands we have only one street value I think ,but it might be good to take it here before the board gets too wet (3flush or 4straight).
+we are at the top of our range (but our range is basicly capped at AA,it doesnt beat any of the hands that would raise us of value)

-we could get raised and will be in tough spot as I dont have read on how many bluffs will they have and might be frequently in a situation with 18% equity.the preflopcaller could have all sets and 76s.preflop raiser could still could have some sets.

Checking:
+I'm not too affraid to give them free cards as I am probably in a way ahead/way behind situation and I have implyed odds if I hit flush on the river.I will still get my 1 street of value on most rivers vs KQs KJs KTs QQ JJ TT 98s 87s
+I get to realize my equity against the top of their range (sets/2pairs)

-Might lose value on some bad runouts (4straight or 3fl rivers) vs the weaker part of their ranges,as I will not be able to valuebet (4straight) or they will no longer bluffcatch(if flush hits)
-I miss to build the pot with strong hand(in case someone calls and I river a flush).I dont think this is much of a problem though since I belive the range that is calling me is weak 1pair hands and they are not calling 2 streets on any runout,I will however always get raised by their 2pair/sets.

Thoughts ? Do you prefer betting this turn and with what intention (fold/call vs shove) or checking ?

nice vid,

a question about the T9o hand.
  The range you said you are raising this flop (both value raises and bluffs(basicly strong backdoors)) do pretty shitty on this turn,and it is kind of a standard raising range that I believe forhayley is aware of.
 Don't you think you are going to be folding too much to this turn lead if you fold hand as strong as straight ? ( I assume you will also fold most of your flop bluffraises and that alone is at least 50% of your range,maybe more)
