If you are going to just call the flop raise, it should be with the intention of check-raising the turn. ... Check raising the turn certainly has merit too.

Not much merit. You'll give up too many free cards against this type of player.

3-bet the flop and keep going until he raises again. Then call down.

What everyone else said, pump the flop then lead until he raises, then proceed to call down and pray he has top top or a semibluff.

With this board and action, CO is likely to have a Q and not a flush draw. There aren't too many turn cards to freeze him up, only perhaps a King and the two aces in the deck. With such a strong hand as QT+, CO should bet the turn, even being loose passive.

Thing is, if he is passive, he may have a better hand than ours. I would fear getting 3-bet on the turn after c/r it more than having the turn check through. He may have a set if he doesn't have a Queen. He's not checking behind a queen and we pay 3bets to see the river when he's got a set.

So I would 3-bet the flop and hope I don't get capped or raised on the turn by a two pair or set hand. But if we don't 3-bet the flop, I don't see how this turn ever gets checked through given the texture of the flop and the action. The loose passive raised the flop into several players including the preflop raiser.
