Default Reviewing a past post

A week ago, I went through the "microposter session" and reviewed a few hands. In this post I had suggested an alternate play from what the player had made, which was to check instead of bet. The subsequent advice and posts on the topic were that they thought our hero had played it well/correct.

I bring this up as I read SSHE for the first time, and I came across the following topic on page 114.
"Evaluating the flop:made hands"
There's a table of the strength of made hands, and a subsequent column on how you should play the hand based on the strength of your hand.

Anyhow, back to the hand in question, our hero is only up against the blinds. I am still having a hard time understanding why checking is not the best play here. I could understand betting out more if there was at least one VPIPer.

Any thoughts?
