You've flopped a legitimately strong hand and want players to inferior ones to call you, so why not show a little weakness on the flop when doing so doesn't involve major risks?

I also said that this is an easy fold if your opponent is raising you big. If you lose a lot in this situation, it's from poor judgement.
Top pair is not going to get very gung-ho in a limp pot as is... But a turned two pair will.
