Check raise turn here?

hero in sb, 100bb, opens to 3bb, one caller from co, bb folds. flop comes 7♣ 9♠ j♠. hero c-bets 4bb, co calls. turn is 2♥, so pretty blank. hero has j♥ 9♥.

this spot always messes with me. i’m often thinking of either barreling turn or going into a pot control/check mode, but what if co bets when i check? i see a lot of players floating with overs or weird backdoors, but also with made hands like tj, 89, sometimes even slowplaying sets. problem for me is i block some draws and don’t have a spade, so less protection needed? still, what if they are just firing wide?

do you guys ever check turn intending to check-raise for value or protection? or is that spewy at 100nl and just burning money vs normal population? any data/experience with this line working or does it just make the hand awkward?

yeah the one thing id trust here is promo grinders at 100nl get weirdly honest on blank turns when theres any rakeback or leaderboard chase on rn they are protecting stack not blasting air. when i check and they wake up there its been two pair plus way more than not
