Default Re: betting in the dark against a weak opponent

in retrospect, i tried to accomplish a couple things here

1) value bet to built a bigger pot with most likely the best hand

2) encourage action from the newbie incase I hit my hand and had him dominated.

3) possibly set up to take the pot on the turn.

given the situation I am going to bet this flop 100 out of 100 times. I figured betting it dark against an inexperienced player make actually help me win a bigger pot. it might also slow him down a bit if say he hits middle pair, but i think that is more debatable
