Re: why am i always in these spots?
I also bet the flop, but for a slightly different reason than most. Like you said, absolutely no protection here, so throw that out. IF button hit, he will always bet/raise. If button missed, he will sometimes bet and sometimes check, but raising is less likely than either.
You really don't want to risk a check, that I agree with, and betting protects against that. But even if he hit, he may not 3bet a c/r, where he'll almost always raise a bet, letting you 3bet. I think you want the money flowing in, and the donks will call two with almost any hand really, so getting that 3bet is huge, and preventing a check through is important as well.
After that, the rest of the hand is easy!
