PLO100 - HU IP 2nd barrel decision w/ weak two pair + nfd SPR ~5.5

CO: $251.37
BN: $180.50
SB: $178.62
BB: $100.00
Preflop ($1.50) Hero is UTG with T 6 A A
Hero raises to $3.50, 3 folds, BB calls $2.50
Flop ($7.50) 5 T 6
BB checks, Hero bets $5.00, BB calls $5.00
Turn ($17.50) 5 T 6 Q
BB checks

Villain is a regular who doesn't defend his BB nearly as wide as most regulars. Seems to be a bit on the tighter side overall (25/13 and 3-bet 5,4%). No relevant reads. No stats that are out of line. Maybe not too interesting of a hand, but this is a recurring theme for me. On the one hand I'm thinking I don't want to give away a free card, and thus bet for protection, and at the same time build the pot in case I improve on the river. On the other hand getting c/r would suck real hard. I might end up all-in in pretty bad shape against QT+ or I might end up folding by far the best hand against a semi-bluff. Not to mention river play. Whether I check-back, or bet and get called, in both cases I would hate facing a bet most of the time (unimproved that is).

Maybe I should've anticipated this turn difficulty? I mean, besides turning a T, 6 or A, I won't have top two anymore, or a straight will be present.

Really hoping someone can enlighten me, or direct me to a place, or video, or piece of literature that can help me improve my turn play with regards to these medium-SPR-middle-part-of-my-range-situations.
