I play it pretty much like that but c/f river usually. Especially with all the draws that hit. Thats way to wet a board for QJ to be good there

if i were to bet on the turn, half pot seems very small.

No way I raise that PF. At best I complete and take it real easy, even with TP.

I wouldn't raise PF, too many opponents, too weak of a hand and a hand that is much better in position not out.

By making the turn bet, you are commiting yourself. If the bet gets called there will be $17.45 in the pot and you will have $11 left. As long as the river isn't scary, you should not fold to any bet. This is not a good situation with one pair.
