QQ -- I don't like the board after the Turn so I check behind 3-handed

No real reads on either player except that UTG+1 looks like he's passive.

Every thing seemed standard to me except the way I played the Turn. I'm not confident that it was correct. I thought it made ugly board texture and against an unkown and a "probably passive" I'd rather not get c/r'd here. I suppose I should think that a paired K will lead the flop, but these guys are basically unknown and probably passive players. C/R'ing turns w/ flopped TP is showing itself to be a common play by bad players at 2/4. I know that having not been at the table for more than 3-5 hands had an effect on how I played the Turn. Is that OK?

Is checking the Turn really all that bad in this situation or do I keep my foot on the gas until someone shows some strength like I'd normally do?

Any other comments are appreciated.

I'd bet the turn since hands like 98, T9, QJ are still possible. Checkraised I fold, I check behind on turn.
