Flushes don't occur that often. This is an easy turn bet with position.
Button picked up a straight on the river.

My question is, does betting the turn punish an open ended straight draw at that point?
10 to 1 seems like odds are in his favorite to begin with, if he's gonna call anyway without knowing the odds are good what point is betting?
I guess my real question is, how does betting the turn in this position help my hand?

Because it's +EV. If you have the best hand, which you probably do, and he's getting correct odds to call a bet with a drawing hand, checking is certainly +EV, because most of the time (>50%) his draw will miss. But betting is _more_ +EV. You can calculate the EV for yourself.
