Hi,
Fisrt some info about my opponents: MP is a total fish, he was playing $1/$2 and started playing a higher limit to compensate some losses. BB is 40/15/1.2/44 VPIP/PFR/AF/WTS.
Here my questions are regarding the flop and the turn. On the flop I have initiative and I think the board is ok for a cbet as a combination of a bluff and a semi bluff.
on the turn after 2 calls on such a flop, I decided to play more passively, but I obviously had other options. Do you have any comments or advice?
Thanks!

On the turn, you're frequently going to end up paying a bet anyway when you check but miss out on any fold equity and put yourself in awkward river spots when you hit. Unless you believe you're getting raised here a lot, you should bet.

Against better players, betting is a must as the alternative is extremely unbalanced.

i agree absolutely to leader. when somebody has a pair, lets say BB has pair, he'll bet anyway when checked to but will just call to a bet but you have foldequity against small ace-highs and peeling hands like KJ KT that just peeled the flop once.
