bet/fold the turn

Why are we betting the turn? Value - are we ahead 50% of the time? If not for value then why? Do we fold a lot of hands that call the flop?

I don't think the rare occasion where you c/c a non heart non obvious straight river and win (what hands do you win again that bet the river btw? Ahxh yeah, and what else?) make up for every time you bet a BB on the turn when drawing to 6 outs, checkfolding possibly the best hand on the river, or just getting drawn out on? The worst hand he has on the flop that we beat is like T7o, which has a lot of outs.

Maybe I'm weaktight here but why are we getting ourselves in this spot OOP with AK high vs a loose passive villain (like the average .25/.50 player)? I just don't see the +ev. If you put villain on any two cards above 7 they all have a lot of outs, you are only calling non-draw completing rivers, and you are basicly counting on the extra BB when villain bets his missed draw - which I don't think is standard for a .25/.50 LAP. On top of that we are often already behind here, and a bet on the turn will never fold out a pair.

No, without good reads to assume this is not your average .25/.50 players I don't see why I should be b/f'ing and c/c'ing some rivers instead of c/f the turn. Please berate and educate me when I should do it in pots this size.
