3bet the flop, and the spot becomes a lot easier.

Since you didn't raise the flop, I'd raise the turn. FWIW on this flop I don't mind waiting for the turn to pop it.

pussy gib.

Gib, I don't see why this flop specifically dictates waiting til the turn? Are you saying this because you expect the value of your hand to change dramatically or because you expect to extract more bets by waiting til the turn?

when raised on the flop and you are OOP with a solid top pair or overpair on the flop ... almost always a 3bet (with position you have more options)

yeah ... I can't see why you want to wait till the turn to raise ...

maybe if K*(J or T)*(8 or 9) with two tone (and we don't have either)

mainly cause of the limit I don't expect to be raised with a straight draw here, therefore I'd c/r the turn for value. Personally I play it either way depending on how I've played previously. Though I'm a little confused to why u think popping the turn is weak?

I prefer 3betting the flop on a 2 tone board, rather than waiting for the turn. I find it easier to play on latter streets against predictable opps.
