First time B&M, way different experience(1/2)

[Farfenugen]

I played 1/2 last night at Harrahs which would be my first time playing No Limit in a casino. I have played in a home game for the past two years with a good mix of good players and really horrible players.

In general, the betting was completely different than what I was used to.

There was a lot of betting the pot on the flop with 1-3 opponents no matter what came. It was way different than my home game where bets on the flop usually range from 1/2 to 3/4 of the pot. I'm still learning the game but isn't betting the pot on the flop incredibly exploitable unless the better has some specific reads(these guys did not have any good reads)? It seems to me like I would stop playing suited connectors but play a lot of pocket pairs and big suited cards and min raise bluff on rag boards. Are these guys playing scared poker or is betting the pot a lot of times sound poker?
