Middle pair (PP) on 3-flush paired turn, checked to me IP (5NL, FR)

though i don't mind chechking back and getting ur hand to showdown because i simply can't think of much hands that would call u on the turn that u r beating. then again the turn pairing and flushing up my be the ideal card to barrel ur opponent of a hand like 99 77 66 55 ( if u think that's in his range). in my eyes i think chechking back the turn is pretty good if ur opponent isn't bluffy on the river since u r still beating hands like 77 66 55 but obviously ur hand can't stand much heat as well

you r giving away the strength of ur hand by betting weak , on this type of board by betting this small ur basically saying my hand can't stand much heat. now if u cbet normally it gives u a bit more liberty on the turn you can opt to barrel again or simply C/F without feeling bad about it.

I'm pretty sure it was just a mis-click this hand, but I think I do this occasionally (bet small-ish, though not necessarily this small) because essentially I'm afraid of the pot getting huge and being pot-committed on the next street when a non-scary card comes and I'm still feeling ok about my hand. I think this is kind of fishy thinking though ... or am I wrong? (Keep in mind fellas, this is 5NL, and I'm trying to be one step above the very primitive micro mindset.)
