The majority of the time, the flop is the place to check raise.

Why is that? Not being a smart ass, I'd just like your opinion on the subject. I've noticed when reviewing stats, that since I moved up to 1/2, I tend to check raise the turn a lot more

Me too. I think I mostly check raise w/ big hands that I want to protect against draws. So, I check/call the flop when it's multi-handed to give myself a chance to take away odds for the flush and OESD's.

Come to think of it, I think there's actually specific advice in SSHE that says when you've raised PF you should generally bet the flop (even UI) and then either check/fold or check/raise the turn depending on if you've made your hand by then. Can you comment on why c/r-ing the flop should be so prevalent?

Thanks,
