i do think i could have led the turn. i can see him paying off with T-x to a turn bet. but i felt that the chances of him 2-barreling T-x or a bluff were greater than the chances of him paying off a turn bet.
after the turn action....i think his range can be broken down into 3 categories:
1. T-x. i should obviously c/f here. he's not folding trips on the river.
2. bluffs. i should obviously c/c here. he might fire 3 barrels (i've previously seen him fire 2). however i think the 2nd T on the river decreases the chance of him bluffing because he could easily put me on a T. so i think most blufs will probably give up.
3. stronger overpairs. i have enough left relative to the pot size, and my line is consistent enough with T-x that i might very well push him off KK or QQ if i bet big on the river. that's the most interesting part of the hand for me....whether he'll fold KK or QQ, and whether he has these frequently enough compared to T-x or a bluff.
the short answer is this: yes the hand would be easiest to play if i led the flop, and somewhat easier if i led the turn. but i don't think "easiest" equates to "most +EV".
