1st hand.
1. What do you think about the check on the turn? Are you keeping the pot small with our SD value or are you betting?
2. How about the thin value bet on the river? I was using the population tendencies from these levels about villains betting out if they hit their draws.

Betting turn, you can still get value from draws and worse pairs that may c/c flop and turn but fold vs a bet, check, thin value bet line.
I think you played it great. You could have bet the turn, but we would have to fold to any raise (population tendencies say recreationals always have strong value when they raise the turn). Betting flop and river tends to get called way too wide also. I'd have played it the same way. :)
