Default Re: raising the turn to get a free showdown,what is it all about?

Raising protects your hand against a drawing hand and might fold a better hand. On the river your opponent will check both missed draws and better hand than yours. This gives you the option to check since you get called by better hands more than 50% of the time (If you apply the concept in the correct situation).
