Here is my thinking. Someone WILL bet this flop. If you bet this flop, just about everyone will call and if someone raises, they will call again because they think, "hey, I already put 1 SB into this, whats 1 more". If you check and, best case scenerio, the button bets, you raise and youll get a lot more folds because people wont want to put in a full bet without having commited much money.

edit: you can attain close to the same thing by betting and 3 betting a raise. I don't think you want to put 3sb into this flop with your very mediocre hand.

Like it? Am I wrong in my thinking. Note that Im a beginner and am trying to learn.
