Default NL400: refraining from cb\'ing TPTK

On the advice of one of the CR guys, I'm trying to check a good hand (like top pair with overcard) on the Flop every now and then to dissuade players from always playing back at me when I miss the flop and check. This hand is an example.

What do you think? Too FPS with drawish board ...or just fine?
Villain is 35/11/4 after 100 hands.

Party Poker
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $2/$4
6 players

Stack sizes:
UTG: $309.74
fooz: $443.80
CO: $220
Button: $1034

Pre-flop: (6 players) fooz is UTG+1 with J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
UTG folds, <font color="#cc0000">fooz raises to $16</font>, CO folds, Button calls, 2 folds.

Flop: 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] ($38, 2 players)
fooz checks, Button checks.

Turn: 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] ($38, 2 players)
<font color="#cc0000">fooz bets $32</font>, Button calls.

River: 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] ($102, 2 players)

I would bet this flop since its so drawy and you get called by a wide range of hands.

You should really do this only in position. If you want to protect your OOP checks it should be with CRs usually, although sometimes if its really WA/WB (not here) you can c/c.

Bet the river all day btw.

i like it but i think you are losing value in not betting the flop as cbboy said you will get called with a wide range.

I hate this against a villain with stats like those.

this is way to drawy of a board. Also, as others say, do it in position. The check oop of position might be ok on a dry board on the turn when you decide to c/c hoping your opponet will be mid pair/bluff or whatever.
