Default 5NL Flop two pair slow down or just right

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.02 BB (6 handed) pokerhand.org hand converter

Button ($2.99)
SB ($1.44)
BB ($7.37)
UTG ($3.49)
MP ($2.44)
Hero ($2.97)

Preflop: Hero is CO with T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
UTG calls $0.02, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero calls $0.02, Button calls $0.02, SB completes, BB checks.

Flop: ($0.10) T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(5 players)</font>
SB checks, BB checks, UTG checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $0.1</font>, Button folds, SB folds, BB folds, UTG folds.

Final Pot: $0.20

I've got a strong hand here, however there are three villains in the pot who have checked to me. I want to charge the flush draws (correct?) so I make a pot sized bet. However it seems like a situation where I'm not giving people with a worse hand the chance to make a mistake and call a 1/2 or 3/4 sized bet.

Do I give a free card here or make a close to pot sized bet?

pot or close to pot is good. QJ/flush draws both call at this level. There's also a ton of [censored] kings that limped in and will call.

Checking here is really gross always.

I'd probably raise this PF. One limper ahead, good position and a decent hand. As played, the flop bet is completely standard. You can't slowplay with the flush draw out there, lots of gutshots and a likely OESD in QJ.

Yeah, the argument for checking is weak. If nobody has anything they probably have nothing after the turn also, but if they have a draw or king then they will pay you now. After the turn it might be you paying them. So get a PSB in now to overcharge all those good draws out there, sure it is sad to see them all fold when you have a hand but it happens.

Great to hear my line was reasonable. I considered checking but with the number of villains and the possible draws I didn't want to give free cards. The only concern that I had was forcing out hands like Kx who limped and would be dominated.

I'm really not sure why I didn't raise this hand, I had been doing a lot of PFRing at this table but something must have stopped me here.

PSB all the way. People will still make a mistake and call with flush draws enough for it to get annoying but be profitable.

make a pot sized bet.

sometimes people just dont have anything to pay you off with when you have a big hand.
