[Scorpion]

Good check fold or should I have the guts to fire out on this turn?

With him calling your flop bet with two overcards to your PP, this is an easy fold, as you are almost certainly behind.

Position & stack sizes are crucial in NL play, please include them in your future posts.

Agreed with everything SirArthur said. Frankly I probably would have shut down on the flop with two callers, you have to figure one of them has you beat. The flop bet has negative value, because it is rare you will take the pot down there, you're usually going to be betting out with the worst hand.

[SkippingGoat]

Check fold the flop. It's not worth betting into two people with two overcards on the board especially if your opponents are poor players who will call you with a K or an ace with a bad kicker. It's normally a good idea to show aggression on the flop after a preflop raise but this is a great opportunity to slow down and perhaps earn more respect for the next time you bluff.
