Uhh

You bet the flop. What does that tell him again?

This decision is very common and tricky. If your opponent is very straight forward you can get rid of the hand. If he's not then I call the raise and probably get it all in on the turn, or just push. It's good to mix in a check on the flop here too when you're deep like this, because rarely is an opponent going to call 3 big pot sized bets (unless you have a nutso image like the one i have sometimes) with a worse hand. A flop check gives him a free card but keeps the pot smaller when you're behind and generally allows you to extract more value out of second best hands. However, I still like bet bet bet because thats what I always do on the flop... It just can make for a tricky spot or two like this.

Most of the time I think you should be going broke here especially in a fpp field.
