Default Re: no flop, no draw, I raise!

Calling and raising the flop is a good alternative to 3-betting preflop.

Many opponents are more willing to believe you have a hand when you just call preflop and check-raise the flop. It 'looks' to your opponent more like the flop hit you and you have a real hand. Often if you 3-bet preflop they don't believe u and keep calling.

Additionally, I think this is a good flop to bluff at. You act first. there is no real likely draw out. There is only one card in the 'zone'. If he doesn't have a king he'll be hard-pressed to keep calling.
