Default Heads up, how to play turn 5-5

I was waiting for a short-handed 5-5 table to fill. UNKNOWN sat down and we decided to play heads up instead of wait.

I (hero) sat with 220

Villain sat with 220

Villain wins button.
He calls $5 BB

Hero: dealt Ad 10d and raises to $15

Villain: Calls $15 total

FLOP: 6h 3s 10c

Hero: bets $15

Villain: Raises to $35

Hero: Calls

TURN: 7s

POT = $100

Heads up is obviously a volitile game. So, my question is, how strong do you play this hand on turn? Fire away, check call, check raise, or check fold. What's the most appropriate play against average Joe 5-5 leading into the turn??????

I bet 15 because I thought my hand was strong enough. Wasn't worried of any draw. Why bet 30?

Wtf does that mean?
Ill say something that I think is the easiest [censored] way for a beginner to improve his game.
When unsure of bet size, bet the FUKING pot!
You bet pot every time you bet, ur good.

ok, I bet 15 because I wasn't scared of ANY DRAWS. Im not worried about a set, or two over's. I have to assume my top pair with top kicker is best.
I bet $15, which gives him 33% on pot

TO GET THERE ON RIVER (assuming i check turn) villain gets:

Smaller pair with a live kicker = 20%
Inside straight draw = 18%
AND MOST LIKELY
pair that needs to hit it's kicker (j 10) = 13%

Again, why scare him out? Why bet pot???

If he calls 15 there, he calls 30.
Unless u were trying to induce a bluff raise, bet pot.

Get the money in there and end the hand now before a K, Q, J, 9, 8, 7, or 6 comes and he either makes his hand or decides to put you to the test.
