dont try to over correct this and start checking too much...once you start getting better at hand reading you see these spots to make thin value bets and your winrate starts going up
I will definitely keep this in mind. I think I was trying too hard with the value betting (after reading all the higher stakes posts). I was picking bad spots like 2nd pair, pp < top card, TPTK that I bet on flop and turn, then fire again on slightly scary river card.

Checking medium strength hands on the turn and betting/calling the river is working well.
