So I'm wondering what a general line is for a flopped two pair since many times it seems like whatever the turn brings scares the crap out of me and my two pair and I'd much rather take the pot down on the flop. But I also hate to bet it and have, inevitably, 1-3 callers and then check/fold the turn and/or river unimproved. Any suggestions?

Cold fold. Don't even play it.

Seriously, I usually play it like this: from late position, a pot-sized bet. If I get any calls, proceed with caution unless my hand improves or the turn and river cards are complete misses for any logical draw. From early position check/call if I suspect a value bet from a similar hand, or check/raise if I suspect a steal bet. If I check-raise this hand it's going to be for the absolute max, so I want to be certain the other player is stealing with a late position bet. That's dependent on reads.

By the way, all of the above assumes you have top two pair and that the flop has NO possible straights or flushes. I play any other two pair (top and bottom, or bottom two) as a draw, and if there's three to a straight or flush, I assume someone has it and only play for really cheap, since I'm looking at 4 outs (maybe).
