Default Re: Would you bet the flop here?

Because everyone would likely just call; and right so with over 1:12 odds. The turn would then probably be checked to me, and if I bet out again people still get about 1:10 odds to correctly pursue any miracle they might hope for (or a flush). Now if I check, someone is likely to bet out on the turn, giving me the chance to raise a smaller pot. Now they face a 2BB bet on a 7BB pot, making a call incorrect in many cases. Also, I might actually make more money with a turn raise, or at least almost the same. I'm just not sure if this principle completely applies here.
