i would prob play it fast postflop
So firstly your starting hand is weak with only 2 nut drawing hands 34s and kqs. This means that the only time you should be plaing this hand is from the BB in a limped pot because this hand is not worth investing money in preflop. You said that the pot was £2 on the flop which means that this was a raised pot which for me means you should never have been in it in the first place.
But that being said you were, so lets go from there. You have flopped the nuts but you have dead nuts.This means that you are basically lokking to hit runner runner blank to win from this point. Soi this leaves you with 2 options on the flop either folding or getting all the money in at this point hoping to isolate your opponent because you do not want this multiway.
Turn as played is a snap fold.
As with most thing in poker you have asked the wrong question. This whole hand was not about the turn but about preflop and flop. Should you have been in the hand and should you have called the flop. As i said before getting all your money in on the flop and being outdrawn is just part of the game and would involve doing nothing wrong but as played you just threw away £2 hoping for a nice card when there really wasnt one available because virtually any card would bring in a better hand or at least a draw to a better hand.
On the question of the flop we come to a point i have been making for a while now. Folding the nuts in NLHE is the most stupid thing you can do at any point. But in omaha the ability to fold the nuts,especially dead nuts, is a very important skill and needs to be learnt.
Hope this is of some help.
