So I made a bunch of big blunders here but I'm curious about how I should have played the turn.
This is on Global Poker NL10 with 8 players
UTG2 Raises 0.35
Folds to me in MP2, I make a loose call with As6s
CO Calls
SB Calls
BB Folds
Pot 1.5
Flop: 6h 9s Ah
Everyone checks including me (I thought CO would bet behind me but I guess the multiway pot made him check instead)
Turn: 2h
check
check
I bet pot (1.5) trying to correct my flop mistake on a board that can now potentially complete a flush on the river.
everyone folds
My main question here is about my turn bet size. I realize I made a loose call preflop, and I think I should have leaned towards a bet on the flop (I guess I was trying to mix it up but chose a bad spot to do it).
Regarding the turn bet, a smaller size might have built value and minimized losses vs. a made flush, but a bigger size denies equity to straight draws and river flushes. I also think a small turn bet size would have put me in a tough spot if someone did call and then raised me on the river. I wasn't sure which size to pick. There are 2 straight draws on this board and if someone had a heart in hand I didn't want to give them favorable odds. I'm confused about what bet size is ideal here, should I maybe have even overbet?
