A continuation bet OOP w/ JJ

[Riposte]

I usually always make a continuation bet no matter what my holding, if an Ace or King drops on the flop, which has worked pretty well. Always when I'm last to act though.

Is it a bad idea to do it in a situation like this, when first to act? I'm probably going to have to give up this pot no matter what.

If I check it's obvious I don't have an Ace. In this situation I was thinking, if he called with a lower PP, he might fold. Or should I just check and try to get away cheap, even though I allow him to attempt to steal the pot if he doesn't have anything either?
