We ARE the PF capper, after all. Use that to your advantage.

Hero cold-capped from the small blind, bet all the way, then checked the river OOP. What hands could he possibly have?

JJ is the only hand that makes sense (plus pairs like 99 in this 4-handed game). A player with QJ should figure this out and bet for value if you check.

People do get scared of check raises. Most of the time a better hand will bet, but occasionally they wont, and we save money.

You're proving my point.

Taking a check-call line means that "most of the time" you're letting better hands have the option of value betting you.

Only "occasionally" will you save money.

By the way, Im not trying to be super dogmatic here. I think it's close. But bet/fold is a superior line, I think, and one that takes some adjustment to get used to.
