If they called my flop bet, they are either way behind or way ahead by the turn.

I disagree with this. I think if you bet smaller on the flop you could get called by a lot of overcards or straight draws.

Right - and those overcards and straight draws will either be way behind on the turn if they missed or way ahead if they hit. If I shove the turn, they call if they hit and fold if they missed, so I don't like a plan that involves me shoving the turn because nothing good can happen if I shove the turn.

I would think at this level they're somewhat likely to call the turn on a draw, whereas it's pretty unlikely that the turn checks through and they miss again on the river AND they decide to bluff. I think you have the best hand a lot of the time on the turn, and I think it's a mistake to check when your opponent can have 6 outs.
