2 cold on the turn?

Not three betting
the flop allows you to play the turn more cautiously when
a bad card hits

This is the wrong way to think...

There is nothing wrong with calling the
flop to see the turn card and action before you start
jamming your two pair.

There is something seriously wrong with it. The button raises, and hero is in the small blind, its checked to the button, this is such an excellent oppurtunity to check raise the flop and thin the field. There is a very good chance he will knock out gutshots and possibly other hands. His two pair is vulnerable and this is a great spot to protect it on the flop.

I usually try to avoid three betting
the flop when there are a lot of cards that can come on the
turn to make me fold.

This is so weak-tight...

To the original poster you had a great oppurtunity to checkraise that flop, the check call is worse then check/folding in my opionon. You can't play some wait and see game before you start putting real money in the pot.
