Well I tend to do that on MW pots, a lot of times. Several things can happen: 1) someone can raise and another call or reraise in which case I'm sure my TPTK is bad and have an easy fold w/out much money invested 2) some weaker hands which otherwise would have folded might call 3) everybody folds and it's ok since in a MW pot you never have that much equity so it's ok to grab the pot on the flop (# 3 is what happens more often).
Of course sometimes I give good odds for villains to suck out on me, like on this hand, and maybe in this hand it would have been better to just bet normal, we were only 3-way and my hand was good enough for a bigger bet. But, with say JTo, I like my bet sizing on the flop.
The rest of the hand:
