Re: Flop check
You must bet this flop. Because 3-handed, you must bet this flop with an overpair; not betting here is pretty much turning your hand over & letting both opponents know that you're not interested unless the turn card hits you.
Checking through and then raising a blank turn card is even worse, as any player with half a brain is going to call BS on that move. The only way I could maybe see that line being worthwhile is if you were fairly certain that MP1 would check again on the turn and that MP2 would bet with any two cards.
Personally, I bet the flop & put some pressure on MP1 to fold his mid pocket pair/suited broadway. I know that MP2 is calling my flop bet, and that's cool. If I get the desired result (MP1 folds, MP2 calls), I can check through the turn UI & call a river bet depending on the final board.
