i don't see how betting flop is bad, worse hands call as well.

pretty much only a3-a6, and i'm not even very far ahead of those because i need to catch a non-pairing small card to avoid a chop. it would be a pretty surprising call if grrr... called the flop with Jx. i guess the pfr might call with a hand like Jx or KK, but he's more likely to put a bet in on a street after the flop (when it looks more like i'm just trying to pick up the pot).

checking the flop also saves money when the turn goes bet-raise to me (or in some cases bet-call). i also give myself the chance to spike a 7 or club and maybe win a big pot when i would've gotten c/r'ed if i bet.
