Re: SSHE p.148: Continuing with marginal hands
I think you're seeing monsters and are expecting to be beaten way too often. Nobody who checked to the button has a ten and probably none of them have a seven. A huge percentage of the time, the only person you are worried about having you beat currently is the button. And buttons will bet just because it is checked to them. So if your raise can eliminate everyone else, you will be heads up against a hand that you are good against often, and even if it is not 50%, the money that went into the pot preflop still gives you an overlay.
Also, I'm not sure you are correctly categorizing your opponents. Very few opponents will be threebetting you here without a hand that has you beat. And many of them will just call you down with a ten. You are going to be taking control of the hand when you checkraise. A lot of the other stuff you are worried about does suck, but usually doesn't come into play.
