D, sometimes we feel like we have this emotional need to bet into a hand/flop like this. Since there's only 3 overcards to our top pair, and a decent number of hands behind us, I think a check is in order and let's see what happens. Often times it will check to the button, who thinks he can buy the pot, and gives you an opportunity to c/r, and make the hand headsup on the turn. In general, you're not getting any flush draws out, and these guys don't fold on the flop anyhow. I think checking and see what happens feels real yummy.
