$50 NL - turned 2 pairs but with a three to flush

Yeah that certainly sucks. If I were last to act, I'd bet the hell out of this turn. But being OOP I'll be looking to keep the pot as small as possible.

I don't think checking and calling a bet keeps the pot any smaller than betting 3/4ths and then folding if raised.

Are you taking this line because the villain is tight? Or is this how you play it generally?

Just wondering because if you're going to bet 3/4 pot and fold to a raise, why not check-call up to a 3/4 pot bet and get to see the river which may fill up your boat... not only that you may be ahead anyway. I am generally not trying to win big pots OOP.
