Meh. I don't think everyone would fold here to a flop bet. In my experience I get one or two callers and then have no idea what to do on the turn. Then I end up leading the turn (getting called), and check/folding the river. Then again I make horrible postflop plays.

If I was feeling frisky though maybe I would c/r the flop only if MP bet (since he might bet for the same reason you wanted to). Then I'd lead the turn. Although I think I'd really just play it the way the hero did.

edit: My apologies. I thought the OP said flop. But I still don't think I'd bet the turn. I could see people calling who were scared with bottom pair. Maybe I'm too passive but I'd just check/fold it down.
