Default Re: 50/100 vs. GoG

I don't understand the suggestion of leading the flop.

In these heads up matches, the out of position caller checks the flop basically 100% of the time. The preflop raiser is going to bet basically 100%. Why would you voluntarily give up so much information and value by making your default play as leading flop with a hand as good as TPTK?

You can argue that you'll start to lead the flop with a wide range of hands. Once your opponent picks up on this it's not a great default line to be using. The pot has been inflated out of position with 2 additional streets of betting.

This isn't anywhere near as strong a default play as check-call, lead turn or even check raise.

There is also some serious meta game information missing. For example, how well "protected" are your passive lines, such as check-call, check-call, check? Can GoG narrow your hand range down to one of marginal strength with this line?
