BTN: 245.8 BB (VPIP: 0.00, PFR: 0.00, 3Bet Preflop: -, Hands: 1)
SB: 100 BB (VPIP: 0.00, PFR: 0.00, 3Bet Preflop: -, Hands: 1)

UTG: 209.6 BB (VPIP: 20.00, PFR: 20.00, 3Bet Preflop: 50.00, Hands: 5)
Hero (MP): 100 BB
CO: 96.4 BB (VPIP: 100.00, PFR: 33.33, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 3)

SB posts SB 0.4 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.4 BB) Hero has A♠ T♥

fold, Hero raises to 3 BB, fold, fold, fold, BB calls 2 BB

Flop: (6.4 BB, 2 players) J♣ 2♣ A♣
BB checks, Hero bets 4.6 BB, BB calls 4.6 BB

Turn: (15.6 BB, 2 players) 3♥
BB checks, Hero bets 10 BB, BB raises to 22 BB, fold

BB wins 34.2 BB

Is check behind better than bet on that flop. I feel like betting might get value from people holding one club, but a bit unsure about what is the best move here.

Betting flop is ok.
Why do you bet on turn?

Same reason as when I bet flop. I was going to check behind the river tho.

in my opinion, this is good spot to exercise some pot control, i like flop bet i would X back turn and decide on the river. he can lead or check, if he leads it mostly depends on size and pot odds, if he checks you can decide to go to showdown or bet/fold. Fine is to B/X/X here i think

Sometimes in situations like that I bet again so I don't loose the initiative and I don't have to guess on the river. I think it is pretty bad.
I mean if I check behind the turn he is probably going to bet river and I will have to decide.

Yep I agree probably better aces and made flushes. That's right

I guess it was a correct play. Even betting turn is ok. If hero is out of levelling hisself OTR than X behind turn also makes sense, but he don't know where do we stand and what to do vs river donk pot than betting turn makes sense.
