Thoughts??

You doubled your stack, or hit a set, congrats either way.

Why did you check the turn?

The turn is too draw heavy to check and try to induce a bluff. Fire off at least a 1/2 pot sized bet.

Definitely need to bet the turn here. Your hand isn't strong enough and the board is too draw heavy to give a free card to villain to make a fluke 2 pair or gutshot straight(I would say he has Ax or Jx 90% of the time here, x being a broadway). The way it played, no way do you fold to the river push.
