I nearly always checkraise the flop.

I do too, but I like to lead sometimes to mix it up. I probably check raise ~90% of the time.

"mixing it up" is important, but i think you need to check-raise this flop situation every time. there is too much to lose.

I don't really follow. What do you mean by "there is too much to lose"? Outside of betting the nuts when checked to on the river and things like that, I think it's quite a bold statement to say you need to do anything everytime, let alone check raise a 3 way flop with TP and a 5 kicker. Just to be clear, I almost always do check raise the flop; but I can't really see how it's something I absolutely have to do every time.

im not saying it as an absolute; but with a guy behind him who will likely call one, you can trap the whole field for 2 bets (rather than the 1 bet that you did). unless of course, you have some read that MP will likely raise here, then you can bet with the intention of 3betting.
