Default Re: Two hands - your thoughts please

"I would have bet the flop."

Me too.

In checking off the reasons why, this IMO is a very good one:

"it makes the pot bigger to entice more sticking around on the turn and river."

I find the inverse effective as well: As lone preflop raiser in a headsup or three-way pot, sometimes I'll check the flop in an auto/bet bluff situation so as to keep the pot small enough that a turn bet by me offers muckably bad prospects to even the most stubborn opponents.
