$10NL 6max: Flop Top 2pair 3way -What action do I take?
 

Players are passive and are showing down top connectors when in pots. AQ AK KQ etc. players are not betting flops unless they connect. I have only shown down ONE hand with a K high flush when I first sat down. Also have taken down several pots since then uncontested.
Action:
I flop top in two in a three way pot. How can I extract most value?

No one is paying attention to you at 10NL. You have the best hand, just keep betting. No need to get fancy.

Bet. Its a dry flop but you're 3 handed and cant exactly call your hand a lock. You'll get value from other Ks, QT. You'll get more value in the long run from these hands betting the flop than by waiting for the turn, and when more broadway hits the turn there will be times you'll kick yourself for not charging on the flop. And times when a random PP hits a set on the turn when the flop checks through are worse. Just bet, if you take it down, move on, you arent getting much money in still ahead from anything that wont call the flop.

Given your read, there is no value to be obtained from inducing bluffs. Bet about .75 and hope he has AA, AK, or KQ. Any raise from him allows you to start building a bigger pot and will make it easier to get it all in. If he raises + SB folds, I probably call and lead the turn hard. If SB calls, I go ahead 3bet it, probably all-in depending on what is left behind relative to the pot size.

you should definitely bet, if they view you as aggressive, like you said in your description, you might get some loose action. Check will look suspicious, you maximize here by betting. The other posts concerning the ranges were right too.
