I see why I would bet/3bet the flop, particularly against unknowns. Reads would really help, like knowing if a check-raise here is a viable option. Against a very aggressive opponent that takes stabs at many small pots, particularly scary boards, I might go for the check-raise here, but I cringe at a free card, why not pot the flop and continue from there?

I respect your opinions and views Maulik, however, such a nebulous question will guarantee nebulous responses. I'm interesed to see what you're looking for here.

Best wishes,
