Bet turn or check behind, and if you bet, what river cards do you continue on and which cards do you check?
Also, what if you check and he checks river again.. What cards would you bet on?
Villain is 20/11 over about 100 hands. Seems a bit fishy.

I can't really see what hands we can get value from vs a 20/11 so if I bet I do it for protection. The only hands I need to protect against is AK and AQ. He might play AA-QQ like this for potcontrol since you are so deep.

I think I like checking here or betting something really gay like 30$ if he is bad enough to peel with AK. If I bet I check back the river unimproved.

Often I think I would checking the turn and then I am obv betting any J or 6 on the river if he checks and also any T.

I check.

Imo, that should be a fold preflop:
- BTN could call, as well. TT is nearly worthless 3-way OOP.
- If you are HU, the playability w/TT really sucks, even IP, unless you've got a read that villain is a passionate squeezer
- See that you're also flipping against QJ - equitywise

Your ? at the turn is a bet, as BB calls.

Well, I would c/f turn + river. Without a read, you can't put him on bluffing or v-betting worse. And what weaker hand should he call here?
