Yeah, I thought the bet size was bad $16-$19 would have been better. What do you do after you check/call the flop? There are times I'll donk the turn but I'm not sure that's good at all.
No, checking turn is infinitely better than betting, unless you somehow know he picked up a flush draw or something. Ask yourself, why are you even betting the turn? Are you bluffing? When's the last time you seen a loose-aggro laydown top pair in a blind battle?

Most of the time checking this flop is better than betting, against most opponents. The board is so dry, that all worse hands usually fold, and no better hands are ever folding. However, if you know that he is a floating machine, then I'm okay with betting this flop (because you are most likely betting for value), but you HAVE to check that turn.
