With top pair it's easily a bet on the flop, but it gets raised behind me. I do it AGAIN on the turn and on the river I just check. I can't think of any reason WHY i would bet on the turn except that maybe he was playing an aggressive draw, or has a weaker queen/jack. On one hand, it seems unlikely that there's a queen out with a bigger kicker, especially heads up, although QJ is something people would cold-call with, as well as KQ. But on the other, there are some LAGgy donks at this level. Raising the flop and turn with a good draw seems like the most likely holding, and when the river comes a third club I check there. Although I have noticed it's really easy to get an opponent to fold HU when you bluff the last card representing a flush, if they raise you know they have it so just drop it there.

What would you guys have done?

Looks standard to me. Keep in mind that by betting the flop & turn, you put Wizbank in the middle & protect from a free card.

I like how it was played out.
