"But I have top pair and a backdoor."...Low levels, folks with raise with anything.

Hello. I have read this posting by ed Miller up to this post (above), so I don't know if this has been answered below. I don't know even remember if this has been answered above. The moral presented in this entire posting is that one should be betting (raising???) with top pair (despite weak kicker). Also included in the logic is the fact of a backdoor flush possibility for "hero". Does this only apply with a pair of A's, or does it apply with ANY top pair onthe flop (eg. you have 79 and the board comes 923)? Should I be betting from early pos. and raising in mid or late pos? Or betting in last position if it has been checked to me? (lets say for example that my 79 was free in cutoff by paying a live big blind).
