Turn bet sucks for metagame reasons.

How so? I was thinking I liked it. Like someone else mentioned, I'd rather have a $3 bet called here, then c/c $5+. Plus, if anyone noticed that you bet your draw, you may be able to get future action with made hands that you normally wouldn't get when they think 'he might be betting his draw again.'

Here's the deal. Betting $3 vs. calling $5 is one thing, but it's a $2 mistake at the worst. Betting half pot whenever you have a decent draw on the turn is gonna cost you a lot more than $2 in the long run. There's no reason not to bet $5 or $6 on this turn if you are going to bet.
