I prefer betting the flop. You have a chance of taking the pot down now and can fold if your opponent plays back strongly. When you check your opponent is almost forced to bet so you don't find out where you are. Turn seems alright.

If you want to stop the opponent betting the river then make a blocking bet. Maybe $10-$15 but this depends on the opponent. Your bet is only getting called by a better hand. I prefer checking though and then decide what to do if my opponent bets.
