SB checks, BB checks, Hero ???

one is 48/0, the other 48/4, typical 2/4 party fishes...

what do you usually do in this situation when you have nothing and you know at least one will call with any kind of pair or draw? do you always bet the flop or just check for a free card? and if you bet it and one or both call? do you check turn or fire again?

Bet the flop.

Check for a free card? WTF? A free card would probably help them more than you. You want them to fold or at least pay to chase you with their 75.

Bet the flop. You can win the hand right now!
And if they call, you probably have the best hand on this ratty board, and plenty of outs.

Plus you want to be aggressive, not lose control of this hand.

Bet the flop, bet the turn. You are 50/50 that your King high is good here. If you are UI and both call to the river and check again, b/f the river. If you get bet into on the river and you are UI, you're beat.
