Betting the turn
Here is a spot I find myself in alot while playing 10 person limit ring games $5/$10 on Stars.
In late position wth [A,Paint] I raise and only the BB calls. The flop comes rags like 2,4,8 rainbow. I'll bet the flop and get called, then if I don't pair or make any draws on the turn should I bet again? Most of the players in this game will call in the BB with any 2 and stay until the end with any pair. Usually I like to keep betting in that spot but lately the BB has been just calling me down with bottom or mid pair. And If i check the turn the BB will bet out on the river regardless and I am forced to fold usually.
I think most of you will say I should bet there on the turn and if I dont improve check the river. But I find limit poker is more of what you save then what you win. Is it +EV to be betting there?

With a better read you could make better plays but against the random cheese on the internet keeping the pot small when don't have a great hand is probably a good thing.
