betting flop here seems the easiest option to play multi streets imo and for balance

as played prob fold turn most of the time, any other info on villain??

if this was v me and you cb the flop and i had some sort of equity i would not be making it easy on you thru turn and river, although i appreciate this isn't a reg and prob a random tard

Its relevant if your opponent can hand read.  By checking back the flop you've basically said to your opponent "hey i dont have a set, a straight, two pair or flush draw on this flop - but i do have a hand with some showdown value" - then you bet the turn your opponent should know you can't have a very good hand so they should be more inclined to a) bluff and less inclined to b) massively reraise all in with a strong hand.  Also if villain had a strong hand i'd expect him to lead the turn as quite often your'e going to check back turn. 
Having said all this its difficult to for him to have too many bluffs here - I dont know what level your opponent is working on - i guess he would jam some strong vulnerable hands on the turn but i'd expect him to bet these himself.
Basically in a cash game i'm pretty much never folding top pair with these pot stack ratios let alone two pair - obvs tournaments are different but when in doubt i fall back on basics similar to what Matt said you have two pair in a 3 bet pot with a psr of about 2.5/1.

^Good post

I agree betting the flop is best, i know it feels like one of those spots where you really WANT to be bluffing but you have way too much equity now so you're just trying to get to  SD but as Kieth's post puts it perfectly we kind of cap our range and the reason this is going to be tough on us in this spot is because we actually have the very top of the capped range we're repping and the nature of this situation is bluff-catching is going to be yucky down the streets and folding is also going to be horrible.

So we just defo be trying to avoid spots where we can't bluff cos our hands too good, we cant fold cos we cant have a better hand and we're forced to bluff-catch with a hand we could be value-betting with in a different situation.

(obviously this is before we know we're going to turn a 7, which changes things a lot.)
