On the turn, I would bet closer to pot, like $0.22, and river another 3/4 pot. I fold this pretty quickly to the river cr too. You are almost always beat here, especially when you overbet the pot AND get checkraised.

Don't think of it as slowplaying, because that's not what the purpose of the flop check is for. It's to control the pot size in case you are beat, which will help to get to showdown cheaper (a good thing). Also, it somewhat disguises the strength of your hand, and allows weaker hands to pay you off on future streets (ie weaker aces or pocket pairs). And lastly, it is to mix up your game so that your opponents realize that a flop check from you after raising preflop is not necessarily a whiff or monster. You are capable of doing this with marginal hands too.

Since you are probably just starting out, you should get used to c-betting most of the time and save this "fancier" stuff for when you get more experience, but it doens't hurt to experiment.
