Paired flops are always slow played so quite often the first bet will take the pot. My strategy from the blinds is to check along the first time and then raise a weak bet or lead off the betting on the turn with a 1/2 pot sized bet. I'll only do this if I think my table image is tight.

The key to this is to give up the hand if you get called. I would sometimes try another move on the turn or river (thinking the opp. is trying to draw) but too often they will call you down with the bottom pair at the limits I play. That turned out to be a leak for me. Now I make the play and give it right up if I am called.
