Reverse implied odds would be one.
Sure I agree that reverse implied odds exist with some hands. But, I'm not about to get stacked with only top pair 6 kicker if called. The turn is being checked if I don't improve (and in this case I did improve).

I'm assuming we're not betting here because of our poor kicker. So what kicker do we need here to make a bet the majority of the time? (in a limped pot)
oop
reverse implied odds, ie our hand is sh!t
we arent drawing to anything useful.
Opp who limped is only going to call our bet if he has us beat, mostly. If hes any good hell just call and probably know you cant double barrel tp/nk here and if you did you may be spewing into his range.
lots of sb hands that beat you may c/c this flop
board is draw heavy, loads of cards can come that are scary where opp can raise you out.

basically your hand is lukewarm if not outright junk especially oop versus any two cards opp would consider playing preflop.
