If he's a thinking and aggressive player, if he bet the flop I think he raises assuming you wouldn't play a good hand that way.

wouldn't this be a reason to bet the flop (i.e. he's assuming you are weak and wouldn't bet top pair that way) so that you can push if he chrasies you?

Well, I think it's a balance between maximizing folding equity and giving him a free card. There's about 6k in the pot on the flop. If MLG bets 3k, a pot-sized raise would be to 15k and that's about half of MLG's stack. So I'd think that the villain might possibly just push and I really didn't want to face a decision of calling all my chips with TT there. If we call and he bets and then we push we've got some folding equity.
