I disagree with both posts above to a degree.
When we bet the turn, which we should, we're not doing it "to protect busto top pair", we're betting for value with our top pair vs villain's draws. We don't know it's busto until he raises the turn bet.
And hoopy's bigger bets for value smaller bets with draws, this is an excellent way to get owned by semi-competent villains. And even if villain is not paying attention to bet sizing, this encourages bad habits for when we are playing against competent villains. Don't be the donk who turns his draws face up with small bets and plays his value hands face up by betting big. Bet the same on the turn with AKcc as 98cc or 99 or anything else you feel like betting, as this makes it more difficult for villains to put you on a range. The rest on hoopy's post is on the money.
I give villain a strong range here when he raises turn, 33 44 55 99 A2ss, I need more info on him to give him wider. When he c/c flop he has lots of spade draws + overs, and 66-88 as well.
