With no reads, you have to go with your gut, if you think he has a set, then fold it. I doubt he would bet this with a flush draw, and hell he could have flopped a straight. I think this raise indicates you are beat, a similar situation happend to me today and I folded TPTK to a guy who I had a feeling hit an inside straight draw on me. He showed me his cards and he did.

why the 5xBB raise? raise it to 120 like normal and go from there. I hate this flop, but I bet less or even check behind here. Like 260 is a good number and I would probably call this reraise and see what he does on the turn.

5xBB raise isn't unheard of early (I have been flamed for 4x raising here w/ AA/KK) and most people make overbets because they get called. That being said, I probably call here and re-evaluate on the turn.

Isn't checking behind here pretty much horrible? I mean exercising pot control doesn't seem to be that much of an issue here?

I'm calling here as well, I think this is a overpair often enough for it to be worth it.
