From Today's card-player hand-quiz:

Today's Hold'em Poker Topic: Free Cards.

Question
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A $10-$20 game. You are in middle position with the A-K and raise after an early player limps. The big blind and early limper call. There is $65 in the pot and three players. The flop is: J-8-3, so all you have is two overcards. Both players check. You bet; only the limper calls. There is $85 in the pot and two players. The turn is the T. He checks; what do you do?

Maybe the fact that this is a $10/20 game makes it an easy turn check.

In some of the lower limit games I play in, I'd be tempted to fire out another bet on the turn and hope for my opponent to fold .... Is that wrong?

On a JTxx board they're likely to have a reason to call. Check behind.

 they didn't say whether there was a flush draw on the flop, so i will assume there is none.

therefore your opponent must have called w/ a pair or the straight draw (T9) on the flop. either way, you're beaten on the turn and will likely get checkraised if you bet.

i guess overcards are a possibility too, but the risk of getting checkraised vs the reward of successfully folding him down is too high.
