Bet more on the flop- 150-175 and if villain calls, all-in the turn.

With TPTK on that board, I'd usually bet more, probably around 150-175. I think their action in response to a bet of that size is more informative than their current 1/2 pot call.

A flat call of larger bet is more worrisome of course because they're not drawing after calling a 5xBB raise preflop and a 3/4+ flop bet, and you're also OOP here.

After a bigger flop bet and a call, I'd still lead turn, but probably fold to a push.

Bet 200-300 for value, and be prepared to push allin.

Well, if I bet more on the flop, say 175 or something then I'm down to I believe just under 600 chips. If I'm going to fire again on the turn I probably need to just go all-in on the turn, right? I mean I'm going to be committing at least 40% on the turn, may as well go all-in on the turn then. I can't see betting 200-300 and then folding to a re-raise on the turn.
