i lead out on the turn

[EMc]

This seems way passive here. Im also leading on the turn. We are still ahead against an unknown villains range.

[Montezuma21]

i pot flop, though i don't suppose it matters much. Also, lead turn.

[Genz]

bet/fold the turn.

I don't think your play is that bad. I think there is definatly more value in betting the turn, but this is not a great spot and you will be very difficult to win a significant pot here unless you river a boat and the villain has a good hand. But then he will raise turn and you will fold. I think you are losing some +EV here but you will find much better spots at NL50. You will also have less variance making plays like this. I think in higher stakes games it would be more important to take every +EV situation regardless of varience, but at NL50 this seems fine to me.
