ok... standard? do i check the flop here, and take one off? or is the money going in on the turn when the blank flops if i do check the flop?

oh... pf raise, 3x BB @ rock garden table...

I typically like to make my raises 2.5x later in tourneys, whether I'm on a steal or have a monster..Just my style

As for the flop, I would probably 1/2 pot it..We are playing this hand to the end no matter what pops off on the turn, so I might as well give him a shot at trying to c/r bluff me

The pf raise is fine, as long as it's what you've been raising prior to this hand. I don't really like the open shove on the flop, because we are missing a lot of value. The only hands we don't want to see are a made flush or 33. Make your standard c-bet (usually 1/2 pot for me) and go from there.
