I hate how I played this (Nut FD/Top Pair, weak kicker)

[PWHerman]

CO seemed to be pretty LAGish, but I had only been there about 15 hands.

I checked the flop thinking that I could trap the other three players for an easy check-raise. Then, after this was all set up, I decided to wait for the turn to trap them for two big bets. I didn't do this because only 1 of the three came along for one and I thought there was a very good chance I was outkicked and playing for the club to come in.

What should I have done? Just check-raise the flop?
