Ok i just realised something. It might only be in a few circumstances but whatever.

Lets say we have a mid high pocket pair (88-TT) out of position, on a ragged flop (722 for arguments sake). We know villian is nitty and will check through without a pair. And lets say his whole range at this point is JQ. He has about 25 percent equity at this point, but will fold to any bet, and will never bet if checked to. Additionally, lets assume even if he catches he wont bet , it will be checked through, and we will check behind (for simplicity's sake). Wouldn't it be better at this point to bet, even if we aren't making a worse hand call or a better hand fold, because it's better to win the pot 100% of the time rather than 75 %?
