I was going to c/r the flop until he check behind.

He probably has a set or something, but you have to calldown anyway.

Call down

How uncomfortable.
Villains flop check was spooky.

I lead this flop with the intention of 3betting.
There seems to be enough PFRs who will raise this flop with draws or lesser hands to keep control.
I like to make them pay for this.

You're not folding your Top Pair here.
So calling down seems like the standard prudent play.

But i have been known to (foolishly?) get in an extra bet against loose opponents by sometimes 3betting or using a Stop-n-Go.
I guess I just hate giving free showdowns.
However, I wouldn't recommend this for the faint hearted.
