    This is the 2nd time I have tried to steal the blinds. I have folded several times into these guys before this. Do I bet more on the turn here? shove the turn? Thanks for the help.

    i dont think you should try to steal with this hand, just fold pf.
    if you are going to try to steal make it less than 3x, 2.5x will do just fine with less risk.

    First, welcome to P5s.

    2nd,fold preflop. At least wait for suited connectors or something that can withstand a flop.

    Played as is I think the only time your going to get this guy off his hand is the turn. Even if you bet more on flop there is a solid chance your getting called here since its a $3 turbo he would have to give you credit for pair or AK and they just dont do that at this level. SO to answer your question yes bet more/shove turn.

    I would also Check river after A hits and hes been smooth calling the whole way with possible straight on board.
