KJs with an A on the flop

[Askilus]

Hi,

Villian might be a little loose. He just sat down so I don't have any certain reads on him yet. Table as a whole is tight and passive.

Crypto 1/2, daytime.
Ten handed, Hero is CO with K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

Pre flop
3 folds
Villian calls

Flop A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (5.5 SB)
Villian checks
Hero checks

Do I need to bet here to know where I am?

Turn K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2.75 BB)
Villian bets

After checking the flop I now put him on a king or worse. I believe I have the better kicker here most of the times he has a king so I raise. Did I jump to conclusions here?

Bet the flop.

You have position, so bet the flop. Having said that..it 'looks' like the villain was going for the check/raise on the flop. He bet the turn with his pair of A's fearing you checking through and then got stymied by your raise.

The real question I am asking myself is whether I fold this to a check/raise on the flop, I think I do.
