he probably 'knows' about standard lines and expects them from you
as an example, if you're HU to the flop on A84tt or Q74tt then you don't have to auto-raise your set cos there aren't many flush draws in his range and he'll barrel 3/4 of turns etc
edit to address question below. tt=two tone=the cards on the board are from two suits only.
e.g. 7s6sAc is a tt board/flop, AcKcQdJd is a tt board
