You are sitting in BB with T2s or SB with 98s with 3 other limpers.
Flop is 2 to your suit how do you play this hand in general? I usually bet pot ($1 on $25NL with3 or 4 people) and that will weed out mostly all but 1 who calls. Blank turn is where I get stuck. 1/2 pot? Check/fold? Check/call? Check/raise? Pot?

That is opp dependant. If they are a passive calling station, don't bet, etc, etc

Usually I'll check here unless I am up against known weak players. Fairly often, even if they bluff they'll give me decent enough odds to call. With suited overcards I might semi-bluff.

In EP, you don't have any information other than the preflop action. Someone may have hit top pair, or two pair, or a set, in which case they will raise your bet and have you investing twice into a pot that you will only win 36% of the time.
Unless your opponents are known weak opponents, don't bet into them with a draw, call their bets if it is worth your while.

you wanna bet with your draws in position so you have the option to take a free card on the turn when they check to you.

Ding, Ding, Ding! We have a winner!! Don't bet into 3 opponents, and certainly don't bluff into 3 opponents.
One exception, you better have a monster read.

I think def the read is the most important one.Smart players will recognize your charade and will push.

Pushing into an unraised pot because somone led pot into a possible draw board is suicide.
More often than not, I pot the flop and check the turn unimproved, but reads + table texture matter a lot here. The bet is to get a pot built and semi-bluff. With a call-happy field, checking might be a better line.
