Default Should I bet the turn here?

firstly let me say hey to the site, really like this place. I definitely plan to do a lot of posting here in the future to improve my mtt game which i'm sorta new to and get better.

anyway, the following hand is from the 50R&A (does this even qualify as "high stakes"). Should I just bet the turn to put the villain all in (I plan to call if I check and he shoves) or do I just check and hope to improve on the river (if he checks behind). If the river is a blank, do you guys prefer a blocking bet or checking and doing some soul reading if he shoves behind.

I'd shove he might fold a better Q. I don' see many hands in his range that hes calling with here and would be the flop and turn that didn't have you beat so it doesn't really pay to check.

Also I don't really like raising QTs here and if I did raise I wouldnt raise 2.5x

I'd cont bet, and if raised, I'd fold.

As played, I'd check and if his bet is too large, I fold.
