What happens a lot in these spots is that V will have a weak K and will bet once, get called, then shut down. Once he shuts down, we get to see turn and river cards for free. If we hit our 2p, we can bet and V will almost always pay us off with his weak King.
He will then rant, rave, curse, and call us a donk for drawing out on him, all the while he's oblivious that he misplayed the hand...
Basically, in these spots, you definitely should be peeling one off and calling weak flop bets when you have a piece of anything...
I guess it depends on the read of the villain? In the OP, my sense was that this guy was very aggressive postflop (or is that very aggressive postflop WITH TP+, I'm not really sure, but it makes a huge difference). If he's very aggressive in general, we're going to be OOP on the turn and he's going to bet again, so I'm not thrilled with the flop call in this situation.
Even if we were in position and guaranteed to get to the river for free, we're chasing a 3 outer over 2 streets (12%); even if villain has a K, methinks we don't get paid off nearly as much as we have to in order to make the flop call.
Of course, if villain is super aggro and bet/bet/betting anything in position when checked to, I guess we could call down with our TPNK, but that seems so marginal to me.
