15 hands in, villan folds to cbet 65% of the time, never got to turn or other situations before so not much info. What do you think about the turn check? And how about the river? Are you trying to induce bluff or betting for value?

I would be checking back the flop. If opponent has us beat we pretty much have to play for stacks if we bet. Also we can extract value on the turn and river just fine (if anything we get more calls this way). You can't get three streets of value from 2nd pair. If you decide to rule out Ax in your opponents range - which is a bit shaky vs a $1.50 recreational in my view - you can bet-call it off if you like. Betting turn and river would be better though in my view. We get value from any half-decent diamond and a bunch of lower pairs (or even just the Qc2c, lol). Definitely betting the flush on the river - recs call off far to wide here - unless villain is super aggro. And even then many aggro villians will check down their SDV. I think betting is way better. :)
