I find these hands tough, but enjoyable to think through

I would go at this hand one of 2 ways...I always will check the flop and see what kind of action comes back to me....A bet and raise back to me lets me release the hand easily, taking the "got a free flop, didn't hit me too hard, seeya later" approach

If there is a bet from early position, I call and lead the turn, folding to a raise....

If there is a bet from late position, I check-raise to thin the field....Then I lead the turn, folding to a raise....

If it is checked through, I lead the turn, folding to a raise....

I think that the turn is the biggest part of these hands....I like to be in control of the hand by that point, and if I am not, I am ready to fold....I want to get a bet in on the turn if I have the best hand, and if I am behind to a passive player who is going to call me down but not raise, I would rather bet the turn in an attempt to convince him to check behind on the river, because in all cases, I check-call the river....
