Yeah, now that you have a lot of showdown value and are ahead of most of his range I think betting the turn is better too. Especially because you say he is loose and below average I don't mind inflating the pot despite a mediocre hand because you can outplay villain on the river and avoid paying off unnecessarily.

betting turn and cehcking river &gt; checking turn inducing/betting river?

I could go either way there, and I don't think one is better than the other really......you played this hand fine IMO.

Betting here is good/standard, I'd usually bet a little more too, but it's fine.
