I think that I would make a around a half pot bet or a little less on the turn as my standard play against weaker players. I think they can call the flop with a lot of different pair + straight draw or 2 pair type hands that we would like to face another bet. Also I don't think we get check raised on the turn too often so we get to control the amount that goes into the pot a little more than if we check back turn and face a large bet on riv. I'm not very sure the right play on this turn either, looking forward to seeing others thoughts.

Here you got position so you can bet smaller and if he x on r just X/B. You can also take free card and decide on R. You got position you are the king ^^

I got problem with similar spots when Im OOP. For example I got top 2 pair on Flop. I bet, villain call. Turn give us some Flush and idk what to do coz villain like floating and his bet vs miss Cbet is like 60%+. And idk what better to do for this type of players. I got many options but all can cost me a lot when he have position:
- I can play that 60% psb on Turn and fold to raise
- I can play x/c once and w8 to see what he do on R
- I can call twice, and make some note (what sizing he use when he floating and have tresh or value range).

Really amkward situation for me...

check whole range, or bet 40% pot whole range more often as villain more passive
generally not relying on folding out lower flush on plo5

keeping pot capped is good there, as you have option to limit loss, or max win with your position if he bets into you at all. It's not about how they play, unless they are unaware / bot. You could have checked turn potted on river with the goods a few times already.

Why would you turn your hand into a bluff? Or do you think you will have an eq edge when he calls?

If you even consider a turn bet, you are most likely way too aggressive postflop. Way too gung ho on getting people to fold their worse hands.

Not even sure I bet the flop btw
