I would bet small-ish on the turn again. You have to defend against overcards hitting their pair and there are also alot of straight draws out there (although you block a bunch of them). If you bet turn, they'll often check to you on the river too and then you can snapcheckback assuming you have the best hand.

It’s also good to know what kind of villain we are dealing with and especially against loose passive villains you could get some thin value on the turn and maybe even on the river.
