Betting into the PFR (Open-ended question)

[SlantNGo]

At first, I thought "Great flop bet", but now I'm debating whether to bet the flop, or to check.

Advantage of checking:
- MP2 bets out and both CO and SB act before us... this allows us to raise for value if they call, and just check/call it to the river if they fold (WA/WB scenario)

Advantage of betting:
- MP2 could raise, driving out gutshots. It would be best if he would raise with a worse hand, but even if he raises with a better hand (i.e. AK), driving out a gutshot may buy us an additional 3 outs (Jacks) to a better 2-pair.
- If MP2 calls, we can be quite confident that we hold the best hand. Most players will not slow play a hand like AK here, with the flop being paired.

I dunno... a read could swing me either way.
