Checking back top pair for deception/pot control?

skeg01

Lets say i have K5s on the button, its unopened to me and i raise it up to steal the blinds, the big blind calls and the flop comes K 4 10 rainbow.

Would it be a good play to check behind in this spot? I have top pair but not with a very good kicker, so by checking behind we are keeping the pot small, but at the same time it is deceptive.

Or should we always be c-betting in this spot when we flop top pair?

What if the flop came K 10 J with 2 spades? obviously a very wet board, should we c-bet in this situation to avoid giving a free card to the opponent?

hand 1 yeah can check back to balance

hand 2 prob just cbet.

both dependant on opponent though and what level

if you cbet when you miss here, you ought to be firing when you hit. 

Just going after the blinds is -ev as a sole objective these days as people dont like to fold.  Is prefferable for him to call from the blinds, not to fold.
