KTs... checkraise decisions on flop and turn.

[SomethingClever]

Reads: UTG+1 and MP2 are both loose preflop and average/bad postflop. MP1 and SB are unknown.

Preflop: Hero is UTG with T/images/graemlins/spade.gif, K/images/graemlins/spade.gif.
<font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, UTG+1 calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP1 3-bets</font>, MP2 calls, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, SB calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero calls, UTG+1 calls.

Flop: (16 SB) 8/images/graemlins/heart.gif, T/images/graemlins/club.gif, 4/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="#0000FF">(5 players)</font>
SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, UTG+1 calls, MP1 calls, MP2 calls, SB folds.

On the flop, I thought betting and calling a raise was better than checkraising and having to face a 3-bet when I'm getting owned.

Turn: (10 BB) K/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
Hero checks, UTG+1 checks, <font color="#CC3333">MP1 bets</font>, MP2 calls, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, UTG+1 calls, MP1 calls, MP2 calls.

Is the turn checkraise too risky after he just called? I thought someone would bet, hopefully MP1, and I'd have the chance to trap two players.

Is a better line to bet and hope for the chance to 3-bet?

Why not just bet the turn and allow MP1 to raise you with AK or his slowplayed AA? Since he didn't raise the flop, the only other logical hand he could have is AQ (besides for a slowplayed TT), which he will likely check behind if you don't bet.
