But somehow here intuitively i thought something was wrong and villain might have a monster. And didn't wan to get raised of my hand on the turn... Furthermoer villain showed the tendencie to bet the turn on the button after a flop donk bet ididn't continue on the turn & i"d expected him to barrel any draw, hence if my read is correct (in case he has a OESD) there wouldn't to much of a difference wether i'd bet and he'd call with a draw(+) or I'd bet and he'd call, except that I'd led him get the lead and I see a good chance of possibly barreling his busted draw on the riverAs it turned out villlain did have a monster flop and I manage to get him all-in, but am not so sure if i really like the way the hand was played.This hand got me thinking of how to deal with the possibility that IF I  BET THE TURN & GOT RAISED then HOW SHOULD I PROCEED??This particulat villain was relatively passive and I would NOT expect him to raise with an OESD + pair, but only 2pair and better.Do i bet the turn & call a raise+ re-evaluete the river and possibly play check-fold?Or is this a "get it in on the turn" and stack-off??
