Re: Middle pair example
As Deception5 pointed out, position is also important in making your decision.
So if only one of your opponents bet the flop from late position, there would be a reasonable chance that you still had the best hand. So check/raising would make sense.
However if UTG led with a bet into the field, I think that it would be more likely for him to have top pair or a strong draw.
So in the second situation, getting odds of about 8.5:1 to improve your hand and a pot size of say 4 small bets, I would probably fold.
