I feel like as time has gone on with poker I feel very comfortable with my pre-flop game. I know exactly what hands i'm playing, and in what position. The one thing which I really struggle with, and the one thing which has lost me the most amount of money is where I put too much money into the pot when i'm first or second to act in a multiway pot post-flop.
For instance, I may raise pre-flop with JQo and get one caller, the flop comes and I feel like the board texture deserves a continuation bet but I may not have hit it. A lot of the time an opponent will call and i'm stuck in a situation on the turn as to whether I should bet again, or check. I always feel like If I check my opponent will see this as a weakness. This situation also plays a big part in my losses when I'm betting with middle pair on the flop, always wondering whether my opponent has top pair and whether I should just check.
I hope someone can relate to this and offer some guidence please.
Here is a hand where I lost earlier describing this situation:
Blinds: 0.02/0.05
Villian raises to 0.10
3 players fold

Hero bets 0.15
Villian calls
Turn card [10d]
Hero bets 0.29

River card [Kc]
