What's a good line here? I hate being out of position. The board was drawy so I wanted to deny a free card, but it seems like every time I use this line, I get raised on the turn and am forced into a tough spot.
Are there better ways to play it? Check-raise flop? Check-call turn? I'm assuming I'm not folding the flop...
