Backing down on the turn?

My retrospect on the situation is that I should have bet the turn, maybe 2/3 pot or so. If I check the turn, and he makes a big bet on the river, I'm in a tough spot. I think I always get too scared by flush draws hitting on the turn, and freeze up, because I fear the worst.

In this case, my fears might be warranted because of the preflop action and his c/c on flop. Basically, I'm wa/wb on the turn. The only hands he calls the flop with are JJ-AA, KhQh, AJ, 99, and 22. I'm actually behind most of these hands.

All I can say is, thank god he only bet 10 on the river. Made it an easy call. Could have raised, but I think I only get called by hands that beat me, except maybe KK or QQ.

Anywho, I called, he flipped over AJ and I dragged a nice pot.
