Default I\'ll listen this time

Party Poker 15/30 Hold'em (10 handed)

Preflop: Hero is MP3 with 7h, 7c.
3 folds, MP1 calls, MP2 calls, Hero calls, CO calls, 2 folds, BB checks,

Flop: (5.66 SB) 5h, 6h, Kh (5 players)
BB checks, MP1 bets, MP2 folds, Hero raises, CO folds, BB folds, MP1 calls.

Turn: (4.83 BB) Ah (2 players)
MP1 checks, Hero bets.

My flop raise is to knock out 8h - Jh, maybe get last position and maybe take a free card on the turn if i need. I also have a nice shot at being ahead at the moment.

However, the flipside to that is the pot is so small i don't really have much motivation to be aggressive here.

The turn i don't think is clear cut. Given the ace of hearts falling it's unlikely he's on a draw and that card just made many ways in which he is behind. While my hand, if ahead, can't be beaten by any river cards. So if i check i may induce a call on the river, while i may also be missing value if i check now?

Side question, would the Th falling make you more or less likely to check the turn?

Thanks.
