I'm not sure you can say betting the turn everytime is correct just because it cost you the same amount if you plan on calling the river. I certainly would not bet at it if I was called by a solid, ABC player on the flop. I'm interested to hear some other opinions as to what a default play would be agaist an unknown.

It really depends on how likely she is to check-raise, and in particular, how likely she is to check-raise with a worse hand. It's an easy bet against a calling station or a solid but straightforward player and an easy check against a trickier, more aggressive player.

If the player is somewhere in between, I think the default play should be to bet, since there are some meta-game disadvantages to giving away too many free turn cards (e.g. a player can correctly take a card off on the flop with a much weaker range of holdings).
