Yeah TP, I have been using that play as of late.  I remember when it "came to me" at that moment like you describe.  Great peice of advice. 
 
I still haven't heard many opinions on my more important, regular occuring, dilemma. 
 
Today, I raise with AK, get a raggedy flop and bet the flop, only to have the BB call me.  He checks the turn, I bet, which I hadn't been doing, he calls. 
 
Now, he checks the flop, and I bet again, with no pair, becaue I will lose if I check it down.  He calls.  
 
I'm beaten with K3, the 3 was the low pair on the flop. 
 
I'm starting to feel like the checking it down if my flop bet doesn't take the pot is a better play.  Players are 2/4 are going to call you down with low pair and an overcard. 
 
Lost 4 bets and if a King hits, I'm in even more trouble. 
 
I truly have no idea what to do in this situation. 
 
I'm just going to go with feel and vary my play to meet the situation/player/feel of the game, etc.
