I agree...players are much less likely to think you have a strong hand when you lead out, or donk here. And if you do check, I think a C/R is mandatory.
Also, by just calling the flop you've given the SB free odds (right term?) to hit his gutshot. I don't like giving players free odds to beat me in NL/PL poker...it's just too pricey too often when it backfires. Like this hand!
As we call it in our home game, slow playing to oblivion...
