Pre Flop: (1.4 SB) Hero is BB with Q Spade A Club
2 folds, BTN raises, 1 fold, Hero 3-bets, BTN calls

Flop: (6.4 SB) Q Diamond 8 Heart J Heart (2 players)
Hero bets, BTN calls

Turn: (4.2 BB) T Heart (2 players)
Hero checks, BTN checks

River: (4.2 BB) 6 Diamond (2 players)
Hero bets, BTN calls

I checked the very scary turn card and seeing as he checked behind on the turn I was going to bet fold the river. I bet and he ended up calling.

Should I have bet folded the turn? I'm wondering if I'm giving up value by checking out of position when a scare card comes.

I think I should have bet folded the turn and river.

On a side note here's a strange hand that I was shocked I won..

BBB is talking about hand #1, hand #2 looks fine as played to me - there's no reason to bet the turn again after you get raised on this flop. I'd be check-folding this turn.
