Bet the damn flop. Checking there is just asking for him to take it from you. You don't even mind a call.

C-bet, and see where that takes you.

Following up, I'd be curious to know what to do if the villian (which did happen to be me) called the flop and what to do if the villian raises the flop. I'm clueless here.

Does anyone like a crai on the turn?

When you 3-bet someone from the blinds, you should nearly always fire a c-bet of at least 3/4 of the pot. In this particular instance you should fire a c-bet not only as a part of your 3-bet arsenal, but to find out where you are in the hand. With a dangerous board like this you must play the hand as if you are ahead, rather than behind, to figure out where you stand. A good opponent will see your check/call on the flop as weakness and will use this knowledge to his advantage on the turn and/or river.
