flopping top pair weak kicker or middle pair oop as the PFR ? thoughts ?

I know its not a cut and dry question, but would like to hear what different lines you would take vs. different player types that would be optimal for the situation. Also the flop texture I am sure is dependent ex.( 9 5 3 r) with A5s, or 98s compared to ex.(K J 5 r) with K8s, or J9s. I am not very good at examples or questions bare with me I just want to improve as much as possible thanks.

background: I have been playing 2/5nl for a living since November 2013. I average around $368 per session which is about 8-12hr sessions.

It's way too general a question.

There are heaps of stickies on the boards I would start there.

If you have been playing pro for almost a year write down some hands and post.

for example 2/5nl 500 effective folds to hero in cutoff I open A4s to$20 villain calls on the button strait forward weak tag fish calls. pot $45 flop ( A 7 5 r) . I would say villians range is sc pps 22-99 and all broadways and some 2suited gappers and doesn't stab often. check or bet ? and what sizing? Also if he was likely to stab would you check? If he is not likely to stab would you take line to check flop to get value on later streets vs a pp or second pair. also if villians range didn't include sc or suited gappers and didn't stab would you be more likely to go for a check flop and value bet turns and river since his equity would be as good vs my hand. One more thing to note that I think is really important is the texture of the flop if it was wet compared to dry and what line you would take vs different player types is probably more important.

Me I usually check the flop most of the time and make a decision based on reads ive developed ex same flop same hand same situation
lines I would take vs different player types:
vs a stab happy villain donk c/c flop c/c turn c/c fold rivers sometimes depending on the flop and turn sizing.
vs a strait forward non thinking player that is not likely to stab I would c/c flop c/f turn 1/2 the time depending on the size . I might be wrong but nitty players tend to make big bet when they are strong and weak bet when weak. also if I call turn its is likely if they bet the river iam way behind since they wont value bet thin.
