    Default [50NL] KTs...3bet pot...Bet turn?

    Villain is 21/9/0 over 35 hands.

    PokerStars - $0.50 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 4 players
    Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

    Hero (BB): $53.61
    CO: $50.00
    BTN: $90.81
    SB: $157.92

    SB posts SB $0.25, Hero posts BB $0.50

    Pre Flop: (pot: $0.75) Hero has T K

    fold, BTN raises to $1.25, fold, Hero raises to $4.50, BTN calls $3.25

    Flop: ($9.25, 2 players) T 3 J
    Hero bets $5.25, BTN calls $5.25

    Turn: ($19.75, 2 players) Q
    Hero ???

    Should I be betting the turn again here? I figure this board should hit both of our ranges pretty well, maybe mine more so than villains?

    I don't know whether to bet because I don't want to get raised off my equity and have to fold, so I'm not sure if c/c is better?

    In saying that, we may only have 3 clean outs to the best hand, and I'm probably paying off a flush a whole lot if river is Ah. Any hands he floated w/ like QJ, KQ+ just outdrew my hand and AK just made the nuts as well (although I think AK has to be heavily discounted).

    I don't think I get any better hands to fold by betting but I feel I also need to protect my hand as BB vs BU I have the best hand here a good amount of the time.

    Is c/f out of the question, or should it be considered?

    Thoughts?

    I'd tend to call pre and check call the flop as played vs a 21/9. I think on the turn barreling is a little bit of a larger deviation from balance than I'd like. You're gonna have loads and loads of one card straight draws you'll want to bet here, KT has a good amount of sd value and he's not particularly likely to fuck with you if your hand is good. I see a 21/9 giving you a ton of showdowns here.

    I like a triple here or a c/c on turn.

    I would have bet smaller on flop somewhat and half pot turn and shove river.

    To clarify I wouldn't check planning to c/c, although if he bets less than half the pot you could call. I think the turn will go check check loads of the time.
