So I wanted to post this and get feedback from the community. I find myself in spots like this fairly frequently.

On this particular hand, the board pairs the Q on the turn and I have KK. I have one of those "feelings" that villain has Qx and I am now fairly dominated. I have tendency to get a little bit of monsters under the bed syndrome, when scare cards come out, like flushes/straights completing, board pairing, etc. Due to that fact, in this hand I end up checking the turn and take this, "well I will call any river, if bet is not too big type of mentality. Kind of figuring that if I check the turn I due in fact that I feel like I am manipulating their range and allowing them to bluff rivers. I can't say with certainty, but it does feel like in a lot of cases they have me beat and I am just calling ariver where I am beat a large percentage of the time.

This got me thinking, that because I am IP, maybe it is better to bet the turn, maybe a smaller size, where I control how much I am betting and if I get raised then it would possibly make sense to fold. If I get called then I have the option to check back the river, but not sure if all that is the best play in a spot like this.
