Re: #3

Agreed! Whenever you're checkraising the flop, ask yourself, WHO am I checkraising? i.e. Which particular player will bet this flop and why? If you can answer this question, you can checkraise.

If not, then don't do it unless the board is nice enough and the table is aggressive enough that you know SOMEONE will bet it.

Whoops. I'd just like to add that if you're checkraising on the flop and you don't know who your target is (it's one of the exceptions that I was talking about), you must be checkraising for value, not for protection (since you're not predicting where the bet will come from). In such a case, this may be a good board to bet and go for the re-raise for value.
