I feel I misplayed this one. Villain is 50/2 and quite passive.

Tell me if you agree here. When I'm raised on the totally drawless flop here, I'm way ahead/way behind. I put villain on either a small pair that thinks I have overs, a 10, improbably 33. Is that right? 3 betting here will at best win an extra small bet when I'm ahead, and loses me 1.5 big bets when behind unless I can fold. I believe I should have called flop, check called the turn and river, unless I hit an ace, then bet/3-bet.
Also I have a followup query. Suppose the board was T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. What's my plan now when CO raises (vs average opponent)?
