In this hand from experience I often see bluffs from recreational players on similar boards. Usually is more bluffy on 595 boards but still I don't think I can just fold flop. Usually they just check turn when the bluff doesn't work so here I can comfortably fold turns when the barrels again.

Do you think this is sound logic for this situation?

I would play it the same. Top pair on a board which bad players like to bluff on looks like a defend, even if we are OOP.

Turn looks like a fold. Villain is a bit loose passive and can have plenty of 5x.

I'm with Turlock on this one. NH, WP. I'm too tight vs raises so I'd be tempted to fold the flop but with the FD as well I think there is enough bluff raises to defend vs the raise. Never 3betting ever here.

On the turn if I'm playing well I'll fold. If I'm not I might convince myself he could be doing this with a FD. I would hope not, but I reckon I might!

If we are folding here I think we are overfolding by a pretty reasonable margin. I'm definitely not thrilled about it but I think I just call down here. We have very little information on villain so we can't make any reasonable inferences about his play just yet unless you've seen him in similar spots already.

Villain can definitely show up with flush draws here as well as the occasional (albeit rare) bluff. With TPGK I am calling turn and then calling any non heart river as well I think.

This is totally player dependant. I don't think we're overfolding vs. your standard passive NL10 player, and i wouldn't lose any sleep over taking your line provided you knew villain player type (well I might lose some over the flop sizing which should be on a higher side). That being said if I had any inclination that villain is capable of taking an aggressive line here this texture is definitely the one to bluff catch on.
