I don't think a turn bet is that bad. When EMP checks again on the turn after coldcalling two on the flop, it looks very much like some kind of draw. When SB check it could be because he too has a draw, or maybe more likely a weak made hand that was hoping to win it right there or at least get it heads up with you. The EMP coldcall scares him, so he checks. You're paying off a blank river anyway, so might as well charge the potential draws and earn an extra bet if you hit an ace on the river. If you're raised you have an easy fold.
