Villain isn't very good, 37/16/3 full stacks (he covers).

[9h] in sb, I call his CO open pfr.

Flop [9d][7h], I check, he bets pot 9, I CR to 26, he calls.

Turn , I check planning to CRAI - Thoughts?! Should I just bet 39-43 and hope he calls/shoves? (I have 70 going into the turn).

Looks good.

There are so many draws u can have here i would just shove. unless you've seen him bet alot when checked to in this situation.

If he's not very good, just bet. The pot's $60 (?) now, so shoving $70 is ok. I think checking this turn is bad. You are ahead here, so put money in. As North said, a slightly bigger flop CR (even $30 not $26) makes AI on the turn even easier. Ks and FDs are calling.

Imagine he checks behind, river is a , you check, he shoves. Now what? You could be making a big mistake here either way. Don't try to be clever against bad players, bet your good hands.

I don't mind PF though I may 3 bet here often myself but w/e. I like the flop CR.

As for the turn, he has to be an absolute DONKEY of the highest proportion to bet the turn if you check to him after the flop CR.

Shove the turn.

"Villain isn't very good" == he'll stack off with TP, in my mind at least.

If you have just a little over one PSB left on the turn, just shove. If he's calling a smaller bet, he's calling a shove.

I think the board also dictates leading the turn.

Because there is a K out there, it's very unlikely that say he get's frisky with JJ and fires at the turn after you CR'd the flop. He's looking to slow down.

Also, there's a FD out there which can ruin your ability to get paid off.

I like leading the turn something not strong, not weak. Something that might make him say, "Okay I have KQ and I'm just sticking it in, " or he calls and now must call a river bet because of odds, etc.

What do we think of a turn open push?

It looks like you are pushing a flush draw or trying to push a K off the pot. You might get called by strange stuff.
