The way games play these days, anytime you surrender the initiative to a player in position you're putting up the 'pot for sale' sign, so you should be c-betting in HU pots most of the time, with exceptions naturally.

This is stated MUCH better than my original post. Excellent point.

Blind vs. blind and blind vs. button are very different animals in general. Probably a bad choice.

New example. I open raise from MP and get flatted by the cutoff, who cbets just about 300% of all flops he sees. I catch air with something like AJ on a 9 high flop (which seems to hit his flatting range). But I know that if I don't bet, pot's gone. So I'm better off cbetting than checking.
