i think you should 3-bet the flop, and either shove or fold the turn, most likely fold

[aejones]

i would three bet the flop, shove the turn, or, more likely, check the flop behind..

[smartalecc5]

3bet flop, charge draws, and maybe suck in OPs to the board

[higHstaKesOwneR]

i think the flopcall is ok but why did you just call the turn
did the K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] scare you?
would you push the turn if a blank like 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] comes?

[cts]

I would 3-bet the flop pretty small.

[Fight Club]

I hate calling the turn with what looks like no plan on the river. Decide on the flop, usually 3-bet then get it in.

Reasons for checking the flop?

[Big_Jim]

Checking the flop every once in a while is fine and good. Good board to slowplay on.

USUALLY checking the flop behind seems like it's losing a ton of value.

[higHstaKesOwneR]

are there any hands against which we lose value with a flop-3bet??

i got some problems with checking the flop ever:

1. it's not a board you're ever going to not c-bet on with a missed hand, so it's transparent
2. he's not often going to pair up on that free turn card, and since you didn't bet the flop, you won't make that much from those hands anyway because the pot will still be small
3. you lose value if he already has a pair
4. you don't give him the opportunity to assume you're pushing him around and checkraise this flop with air or with a flush draw
