Huh?

what safe turn do you want to see that helps here, he has you crushed or you have him crushed, there are no draws so whats the turn got to do with anything??

are you saying you're folding if a K drops?........ im wondering what you think the safe/scare cards are?

The hand itself is about as standard as it gets but your thinking about the turn, IE, slowing down, scare cards, etc, baffles me, you're playing at no sort of level and the baord is about as scary as a titus bramble sliding tackle.

i could slow down if a k or q comes out if an ace comes out i can make an easy fold then.

how can you "slow down" here? even if you flat the flop the pot is now 1/3 of your stack.

do you think your oppo is gonna just stop betting the next two streets?

You have to raise your hand on the flop because your hand is vulnerable, as bottom 2 always is...

You have to raise a reasonable amount (ie. min raise I dislike) so your raise is okay.

You have to call when he shoves, you are beating AK, AQ, AJ, AT, A8, even the lower rags. Possibly a funky 8T. Okay occasionally he wakes up with A9 or a set, but certainly not often enough to ever consider not stacking off here...
