Post Flop Play for dummies - HELP

[Scuba Chuck]

I get this "learning to play postflop" might get expensive for me. At least it's fun to learn something new...

How should I have bet this different? And, did you see this hand coming? (Damn Hand Converter takes me to a different site now)

<font color="blue"> Pot is only 105 here. Okay, I'm out of position. I have TPWK, with a bunch of limpers. What am I to be thinking about right here? I thought that if I check, I will be giving a free card if it checks through. But, I'm really not all that interested in tangling with a KJ. What SHOULD my bet have been? Or rather, what is the better move? </font>

<font color="blue"> What are your thoughts on jkim01 right now? A call to me, means one of three things:
1) He also has a jack
2) He is slow playing a set
3) He's an idiot

<font color="blue"> I am completely up the creek without a paddle right now. I am so lost. I still have top pair???? This good pusher and folder, is thinking I've lost this hand. "Will I check fold, or check call? Well if it's not too painful, I'll call and post on 2+2." </font>

** Summary **
Main Pot: 515
Board: [ 2s Jc 7d 3s 7s ]

Results:
<font color="white"> Scuba_Chuk balance 340, lost 220 [ Jh 9s ] [ two pairs, jacks and sevens -- Jh,Jc,9s,7d,7s ]
jkim01 balance 2045, bet 220, collected 515, net +295 [ 8s As ] [ a flush, ace high -- As,8s,7s,3s,2s ]

This is what I hate about the results (besides the fact that I really didn't think this is what the guy had.) That going into the river, I'm ahead. But I couldn't tell.
