Hero???

The turn pairs the board against this unknown "only 6 hands tracked" so do you just shove the turn here hoping he has AQ and not KK, AA?

Thanks for the feedback guys!

Easy shove your last ships , here many hands what you can beats.
You only lose vs set , AA and KK , its very small range hands what play c/f or c/c. here , so only shove...

In this spot I prefer to check it to villain. He has a lot more in his range than AQ that we beat, but it seems unlikely he'll call our shove with those. Based on earlier streets he's likely to bet them again, however. We're not afraid of the river, anyway - if villain does check back we'll shove it then.

Villain called our check raise which was a big one so he could have "limped overs pairs" in his range for sure or definitely AQ or a draw.

I don't mind checking the turn. Slowing down is a not a bad idea. We did get value out of check raising. However i am check calling for sure.

well, you have a pot sized bet left and a very strong hand for the situation.

So, I think it's first most important to understand that whether we check or bet this turn we are pot committed and we are never folding, no matter which river card comes...so whichever line you think gets the most chips in the pot is OK.

I think vs. different villains betting and checking can both be OK here.

Since he is basically unknown, I am partial to just jamming here. Betting less than all in looks super strong. And it would suck to give a free card to beat you.....and unknowns will often overvalue TPTK type hands and pay you off right here thinking "He doesn't have a 6" But there are a number of river cards that could scare a hand like AQ or KQ into folding....
