"what this does is it steals position back on the flop. they now have to act first."

This is not true. You have already acted. He can check without having to consider what you will then do; a player truly out of position does not have this luxury. You have given him the opportunity to get a free card.

Seems more like taking the safe route of teeing off with a mid-iron than using a powerful driver . . .
