Villain is 18/14 over 45 hands.

I wasn't sure at all how to play the turn.
Is bet > check and why?

If we don't have the flush should we bet differently on the turn?

Vs raise should I consider shove to make my life easier? or call is more +ev?

Hero (SB): $51.79 (103.6 bb)
BB: $53.80 (107.6 bb)
UTG: $56.17 (112.3 bb)
MP: $52.25 (104.5 bb)
CO: $87.86 (175.7 bb)
BTN: $51.64 (103.3 bb)

Preflop: Hero is SB with Q A
3 folds, BTN raises to $1.50, Hero raises to $5, BB folds, BTN calls $3.50

Flop: ($10.50) J 6 T (2 players)
Hero bets $5.01, BTN calls $5.01

Turn: ($20.52) 8 (2 players)
Hero bets $9.80, BTN raises to $21.50, Hero calls $11.70

River: ($63.52) 3 (2 players)
Hero checks, BTN bets $20.13 and is all-in, Hero folds

Results:

Spoiler

$63.52 pot ($2.50 rake)
Final Board: J 6 T 8 3
Hero mucked Q A and lost (-$31.51 net)
BTN mucked and won $61.02 ($29.51 net)

Hi Asimos,

pre flop good,

Flop is a board we should be checking a fair amount, but betting AQ should be good.

Turn is a card that's not good for our range IMO, Villain should have more Q9s, J8s, 97s than us. So a hand like AJ might not even be a value bet for us. So we are going to be checking a lot this turn. And in practice with AQ I don't see villain folding any better hands. Without the flush it's very possible that AQ is a x/f, even with 8 outs to a straight (the 9 is a very dirty out). With flush I would check, between x/c or x/shove I'm not sure what's best, either should be fine, depending on sizing.

As played, turn I'm actually a bit sad that villain didn't shove himself, with his sizing I think he's not gonna show hands like KQ a lot. And for that reason I think you played it fine.
