what position are you in?
I would likely lead flop, but the way it’s played, I’m trying to get stacks in on the turn, so I am raising to about 2000 (option C) – I might size down a little to give them the impression of remaining fold equity (say something like 1,600).
I like your insight about “making up for it” — it’s not necessarily a mistake to check to be tricky with top two, or something like AA pre-flop… but if it doesn’t work out, then I agree it’s a mistake to try to “make up” what was missed on other streets.
