    yes. pot the flop and the turn. on the flop you will get raised by a better hand (set) and be able to get away...on the turn you still have a decent low draw and probably still the best high hand. and if you've been called all the way down, check the river

    This advice is crap. That is a horrible flop for you. You are playing for half the pot against a potential flush draw with a one way hand that isn't even that great a one way hand. If you were to bet, I would bet the flop, but that would only be to hope to take it down right there. Your hand is very mediocre at best.

    Check and Fold to any bet, too many draws too many ways to already be beat.

    Too bad 3 pair isn't worth anything, but seriously that's a crap hand after the flop. I wouldn't call you weak tight for playing that hand weakly, you might be able to bluff with it but thats about all its good for.

    Even if you made a boat, you'd be hard pressed to call a pot sized bet.

    funny how you call it crap, yet your advice is similar to mine. the pot on the flop is top take the pot down right there. if you're scared of the amount of draws out there and arent willing to try to take the pot down right there, then why bother checking? just fold the damn thing. also, i dont understand what the turn call is for?? if you take an aggressive stance on this pot at any point, i think you take it down.
