I tend to bet top pair top kicker until someone tells me it is no good. At that point I call down.

I don't know if this is a good or bad way to play, but it seems reasonable to me.

Playing TPTK strongly until someone gives you reason to pause is generally a good play at a small stakes game.

But this isn't quite a small stakes game.

And it's not a general hand. It's very specifically against Vehn.

Your default play is certainly reasonable. Your question, "Do people on this forum always assume that your opponents can see your cards?" is not reasonable if you actually thought we make this assumption. If you're just being snarky, that's fine: it just gives me another opportunity to use the word "snarky."
