I think I'd just fold the flop, but if I decided to carry on I'd play it the same.

I just bet this flop. You can't assume to a late position player is going to bet this if you check.

I see your point, but my thinking is that this board is so drawy and my hand so vulnerable that I don't mind it checking through. If it bets from late, I'll checkraise and protect. If it checks through and a scary card hits, I can just get away cheap with nobody the wiser. Betting out on the flop here does nothing to protect my hand, since I'll be offering 7:1 to the first caller.

Once there was a bet and raise though, my decision was 3-bet or fold. I chose to 3 bet, as there are lots of combos of hands that could go bet, raise from late position (JT and a free-carder, forexample), and this is a perfect opp to make an A, Q, or J fold. If I get capped I can safely check-fold the turn.

Or at least that was my thinking at the time.

I would fold the flop.
