Post it here next time.

On the turn you can go for various alternative lines.

1. Bet Turn, Check River

You're basically going for a free showdown. The hand might not be worth a triple barrel so you plan to go for 2 streets of value. I'll do this for slight protection against some draws too. The opponent I'd pick for this line would be a more passive kind of guy who plays straight forward and could pay me off with weaker aces.

2. Check Turn, Call river

This line should be taken against guys who are aggressive or float a lot and you're basically trying to induce a bluff.

Under normal situations I'd go for the first play since for the 2nd play I need to have reads that he floats or is capable of bluffing on this board. There is also a slight risk of him drawing to something so not best to give him a free card.
