raise the flop and check the turn for a freecard (if offered). There's about not value in betting the turn for a free sd so I like to take the freecard, and only a weak/tight read can change that. If we bet the turn I think we're commited to fire again on the river to fold A/Q-high hands.

You make it sound like it's a bad thing to show up at the river obligated to bluff. Not only is it positive ev to bluff this river after betting all the way, you add in possible folds by your opponent on the flop and turn, and it's like taking candy from a baby. Seriously, don't fear setting yourself up for a river bluff. Sure they fail more than they succeed, but they can be very positive ev if you've been the aggressor.

You're correct, the reason we're commited to bet the river is because it's +ev. But after getting called on the flop in a tiny pot I don't thinking betting the turn is.
