Let it go on the turn. You have second pair and a poor kicker. Yes, your opponent could be raising the turn on a semi-bluff. But most often I think you are behind and not getting odds to draw. I should say, often enough to not bridge the gap between the odds being laid.

My original thought here was to just let it go. But it seems to me, that there has been a lot more semibluff raising on the turn going on lately, so I decided to call the turn, and then decide again on the river. If for instance, a heart came, then I was going to fold, because I was behind either a semibluff that got there, or a better hand.

At any rate, on the river, I made two pair, I checked leaning toward checkraising, because now I was ahead of a lot of top pair hands, and I might also get one more bet out of a semibluff hand. He checked behind, and showed 76 of hearts, for a missed flush/gutshot draw.

Even though, I got this hand right at the time, the play of it bothered me enough, that I thought I might get more opinions on what to do.

Thanks,
