Default How to maximize/line check

I think I need a refresher course. What's the standard line in this spot with a medium overpair like TT? Does anyone play the turn differently? Also, how do I make the most out of the PFR while simultaneously minimizing loss while behind?

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (9 handed) converter

saw flop|<font color="#C00000">saw showdown</font>

Button ($84.5)
SB ($18)
BB ($106.3)
UTG ($144.2)
UTG+1 ($100)
MP1 ($196.6)
MP2 ($100)
Hero ($227.3)
CO ($91.9)

Preflop: Hero is MP3 with T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. SB posts a blind of $0.5. MP2 posts a blind of $1.
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">UTG+1 raises to $2</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, Hero calls $2, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises to $5</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, BB calls $4, UTG+1 calls $3, Hero calls $3.

Flop: ($21.50) 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
BB checks, UTG+1 checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $15</font>, Button folds, BB calls $15, UTG+1 folds.

Turn: ($51.50) T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $35</font>, BB folds.

Usually I'll check to the PFR, let him bet, see what the field does and respond accordingly (probably 70% call and lead turn with 30% check/raise). Here, because the flop was so coordinated, I wanted to lead through the PFR to see how he reacted. Does that make sense?

All comments welcome.

Lookin' good, although I might bet only half pot on the turn since you have a huge lead on most hands and it shouldn't be too hard to escape if an A or a 6 hits. (You have position too).
