Re: Thoughts on check-raising/slowplaying Vs. rarely doing it?
[ QUOTE ]
1. You want to limit the field. After you check, a bet has come from late or last position. You raise, forcing everyone in between to call 2 bets cold.
2. You want to build a pot, and the guy to your left was the pre-flop raiser. You check, he bets, you check-raise. Now everyone only has to call 1 more bet, so you are building a pot, giving *seemingly* correct odds for them to chase on 4th street.--Casey

According to S/M, item 1 would be a good semi-bluff while item 2 would be a good way to trap "making it easy for someone to call".
