Default stop and go -- checking my strategy

General situation, assuming no particular reads to alter your strategy: hero raises from early position, gets three callers, flop gives hero top pair top kicker, but flop is monotone and hero has none of that suit.

Hero bets, first cold caller raises, fold, fold, hero calls.

2 players to the turn, which comes a blank.

In this situation, I always bet out on the turn, and call a raise. If the river is another blank, I will bet out again, regardless of whether villain called or raised my turn bet.

Is this generally right? Do you play it any differently?

Somebody who raises to isolate you in a 4 handed pot will nearly always bet the turn for you. Checkraise blank turns is better.

If I'm multi tabling auto pilot I 3-bet the flop and lead the turn even if capped on the flop. If I am raised on the turn I jsut check/call the river.

Letting him bet the turn for you and c/ring him on the turn is probably better. I'd probably do this if i were 2-tabling. If you are beat, this opens you up to a expensive 3-bets on the turn and I'm not very good at folding TPTK HU so my default move is to lead the turn as I stated above. If I were better at folding when I am beat c/ring the turn seems superior. Actually TPTK is pretty solid I'd guess paying off (calling down the occassional turn 3-bet) you are probably still ahead this way as you get one extra big bet all the times you are good.
