So about half the time you're 77-23 against overcards, half the time you're dominated against overpairs. You have also not gained any decent knowledge about what he holds that you couldn't assume when he called preflop.

Betting the flop could help us get information if you need it so badly. Personally I think betting/raising for information is usually an excuse to give away money.

Isn't it better to check the flop if he's calling with overcards?

You're asking if it's better to not put money in when we have a good chance of being ahead. I assume that's as opposed to not putting money in when he's almost exclusively got a big hand. The answer is no. If you're more likely to be ahead, you should be happier to put money in.

Perhaps you're behind more than you're ahead. But it's still better to bet when you might get called by worse hands than to bet when you'll only get called by better ones.

I'd bet approx. 100% of the time on this hypothetical hand, BTW. And if I knew he'd call my bet with any two overs, I'd probably push all in.
