I suppose you are weakbetting the flop to induce a raise? Meh....I've stopped doing that because it never seems to work. If they're going to raise a flop bet from you, they're going to raise you whether you bet $6 or $12, it doesn't matter. What will happen is if they raise you because they want to sheriff that weak bet, but they themselves are weak, all your gonna see is a flop raise and that's about it for the hand. So, best to just bet out $10-$12 here on the flop, build the pot early, and hope he has something so you don't have to do stupid things on the river.
