Hmm.. turn. I think I like it against most players. Here's the thing though, not many people ever check an overpair on the flop so your check really announces that you have a couple high cards and you don't want to put any more money in the pot OOP against 2 players. The turn certainly didn't help you, but it's highly likely that it didn't help your opponents either, neither of whom seemed to have much interest in the pot after you basically gave up on it on the flop.

Truthfully, this is more a matter of playing the players then it is a matter of playing the cards...

If the turn bet wins you the pot 5 out of 13 times right there, it's +EV. I think against most players this is a good bet...

You say the villains are TAGs and from my experience the hands TAGs like to call preflop raises have a high percentage of pocket pairs. So unless these players know you like to check raise overpairs on the flop they will most likely put you on high cards and you can expect to be called quite often, so unless they call a lot of preflop raises with unpaired cards this will most likely be -EV. Betting the flop is much better IMO.
