Re: 2nd pair no kicker 5-handed

What do you do if he calls? What is your turn plan?

If villian would have 3-bet the flop, we have an easy fold. If he calls the check raise, we have to bet the turn every time.
If we were to check raise the flop, then check the turn, we are putting ourselves in a tough position. It's certainly possible villian would check behind, which would be ok, but what if he bets?
He should know we could play any two cards this way. Suppose villian thinks we are on a straight or flush draw here. There is a good chance he would bet the turn in this case with many hands we could beat(low/mid pocket pair, Ax hearts), and we would be forced to fold. That would be a big error on our part.
So, given a check raise on the flop we have to bet the turn 100% of the time. If villian calls our turn bet, I probably check/call the river.
Having said all that, I still say leading out on the flop is the best play here.
