Betting this hand (TPWK) on the flop doesnt accomplish much with deepish stacks. If he misses he should bet most flops to try and take the pot right there.

So if he gets top pair betting doesn't do him much good, but if he completely misses then he should bet?

Thats my standard for the way I play...usually...

If I'm playing a supreme LAG (in my home games) I'll bet out either way 'cuz I will get very loose calls...but in ANY other case...

Check = hit
Bet = miss

Standard for me.

I think that's standard for a lot of people, and I think it's easy to exploit if your opponent is observant enough to attach that read to you.

It's universal enough that I assume my opponents play this way until I have a different read on them. Maybe curtains was hoping the villian had this read on him, hoping to make his check/call on the flop and check on the turn appear very strong.
