You could have bet the turn, for at least 10 or $15

Bet more on the flop -- 1/4 pot is horrible. Bet whatever you'd bet with AK, here. After getting 2 callers on the flop, checking this turn behind is fine as it will make people more likely to look you up on the river. The flop is drawless other than a gutshot so its pretty likely your opponents are drawing dead and a free card cannot hurt you. Raising the river is clearly correct but the exact amount is opponent-specific.

Hi, my flop bet was actually to induce a raise from one of my opponents, to make it look like i had KK and didnt hit. What would be a more correct amount to bet here? 2/3 pot like i would with AK with no flush draw?

I probably bet about 1/2 pot here. However, that's in line with other flop bets I'll normally make (depending on my holdings, board texture, and opponents, my flop bets are usually between 1/2 pot and full pot, with the majority being closer to full than half). The important thing is that you not bet an amount that tells people what you have. If you'd never bet that small with anything but top set, its really hard to get people to make mistakes against you as your betting tells people too much about your hand. If you'd bet 2/3 pot with AK, I think that would be a good amount for this hand, too.

Yes, bet whatever you do when you continuation bet - thats what continuation bets are for. It's really suspicious when you bet 2/3 pot after most raises, then suddenly bet something like 1/4 pot after you've raised big pre-flop.

Besides, getting more money in on the flop/turn means that you can put more in on the river without it seeming scary, because the pot's bigger.
