WSOP ME hand #3 - My cards are basically face up on "scary" board

Level 1, 25/50 blinds.

He limps in the hijack, having me covered. Button, a tight solid player, limps. SB completes. I look down at black kings and raise to 300. Only villian calls.

Flop is A 9 7r. This seems like a WA/WB situation, although there is some straight draws out there. I decide to check here and play conservatively. He bets 500, I call.

I stopped reading here. If you had bet the flop, he would have folded his 88 and you wouldn't have this situation.

How come any time anyone starts a thread where he's WA/WB, people say "bet so that he folds the hands you beat"?
