Argh! 3-bet the flop!

OK, but back to the original question, please?

You should not fold the turn. Raise. And 3-bet the flop.

The problem is that if you 3-bet the flop like you should it changes the hand. If he caps, you're in trouble.

Since you didn't 3-bet, I would call down the hand. This is why you 3-bet the flop and try and take control of the hand and make it YOUR decision, not his.

Didn't want to spoil the hand, but UTG had pocket 2's, so he might have capped the flop, and it's very good justification for 3-betting on my part. On the other hand, he might have flat called and check-raised me on the turn. Would you fold to a check-raise on the turn?

I really thought he was drawing since it's been so long since I've seen a set bet into the PFR raiser on the flop; they usually wait until the turn.

I would either 3-bet the flop or call then raise the turn. However, seeing the Q on the turn I probably call down.

EDIT: This seems weak to be calling down. I'd be tempted to raise, but fold to a 3-bet, but calling down costs me the same amount and I get a showdown... Hmm, I'm really not sure. But fold is out of the question.
