But if you don't hit the turn, seeing the river for good odds has really become a conundrum for me. 1/2 pot is just too much to pay unless you are really deep stacked and your opponent is married to his hand. To break even paying 1/2 pot you must get your opponent to call 2/3 the pot on the river. With only one chance to bet and the river being a scare card, that's just not realistic.
If you check, your opponent will almost always bet atleast 1/2 the pot if he has any kind of hand at all. If he doesn't have a hand worth raise/protecting, you don't have any implied odds anyway. If you make a smaller bet that can give you good odds it screams draw and will almost always be reraised. I don't know how to handle this.
Btw, this is the standard 8 out OSSD and 9 out four flush, things would be different if you had good overcards or a pair+draw.
