you need to have an idea of what you're going to do on various turn cards, have a mental tree of possible outcomes and actions in event of those outcomes, before you act on the flop. in general the deeper you are the more likely you should just be folding low-enabling turns, or more to the point, the higher your SPR.
two ways of going about it. for the record, i'm not advocating either one, just trying to light a fire on some thoughts.
you make it 12bb, MP calls 12bb, SB calls all in for about 10bb, that's 32, plus the 3 in the middle, 35bb. you're going to have around 0.7 SPR so it's never gonna be that bad to just get it in on any turn. that sort of SPR and you're in "shrug, so what if he's freerolling me" territory. question is, do you want to open yourself up to that and is it better than the alternative? it could well be.
let's say you call, and MP calls, 12bb pot, now you've got ~3 SPR. you're going to end up losing that 3k more often than not, assuming that you're just check folding low cards, i'm guessing that there's more bad turns than goood turns. i'm counting 21 good cards - board pairs and high cards. 46.666% of turn cards according to my calculator. maybe an ace is good for you. but so what, it's 3k, right?
so that seems fine, this route gives you more control. better for you in a tournament. potentially you can make enough profit from good turns to overcome losing the 3k more often than not.
but then you have real problems on the river if you get a good high non-board pair turn but low straight enabling river, or if it's a backdoor flush.
in that event, are you going to check/call a PSB with the HOPE that you get it back? wouldn't this be much simpler if you had position?
can't really do anything about that in a free flop in the big blind spot though.
food for thought.
