I'm guessing if I have any really big leak in my game, it's got to be calling the check-raise all-in.
This happens when I have what I consider a pretty good hand, and then get raised all-in after a substantial bet at the pot.
Last night it was QQ to a 933 board, where the villain had K3. I thought I'd protected myself from the 3 with my pre-flop raise, but obviously, I hadn't.
I have two questions.
The first one is, is it worth it to play substandard cards in hopes of catching a huge - but well hidden - hand?
The second is, what percent of the time is the check-raise all-in some kind of bluff or semi-bluff?
Should you ever question your opponent's hand when he does this?
