I decided to go for the turn check raise as it seemed like it would be the most profitable play. Here's how the hand played out.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $6 BB (9 handed) converter

Hero ($1308.2)
BB ($365.2)
UTG ($430)
UTG+1 ($618)
MP1 ($594)
MP2 ($736.7)
MP3 ($2126.08)
CO ($572)
Button ($515)

Preflop: Hero is SB with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP3 raises to $25</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, Hero calls $22, BB calls $19.

Flop: ($75) K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
Hero checks, BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">MP3 bets $60</font>, Hero calls $60, BB folds.

Turn: ($195) 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">MP3 bets $200</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $600</font>, MP3 folds.

Final Pot: $995

At the time I was a little scared to make this bet as it is definitely not a standard play for me. If he calls my turn check raise or reraises I am done with the hand as that was just about the worst card in the deck for my hand.

Edit: I think this might be better than a flop check raise because if he decides to call with nothing, he will be able to take the pot away on a scary turn card but I am still not sure.
