This is a zoom hand, villain is unknown.

I was deciding whether to barrel turn or not, decided to check back and take the free card. Should I be barreling turn because this kind of flop will have a lot of people calling, and also because we still have two overs and the nut flush?

Is this river also a standard check back after not barreling turn and failing to improve.

Hand converted with online PokerStrategy.com hand converter:

Play hand

$0.01/$0.02 No-Limit Hold'em (6 handed)

Results follow:

SB wins with two pairs, tens and threes(8:s T:s).

Hey Sai7,

Preflop squeeze for value is fine.

Generally speaking our flush-draws have enough equity that we can be 2barreling vs an unknown. I would fire turn here.

If we do check back turn (which is not a bad play or anything), then the standard option is just to check back river and hope our A-high is sometimes good.
