Hey,
Preflop and flop are fine. Betting the turn with the plan of checking back river is burning money though. Villain won't be calling enough many worse hands on the turn in order for you to be ahead of his turn calling range. Also, villain probably isn't folding many better hands either, so your bet basically serves no purpose imo.
