Default Re: Homer vs JTG, checkraise turn hoping better overcards fold.

I do not believe that this is a routine play.

I agree. Check raising the turn on a stone cold bluff should be a very rare play.

Very few people will lay down to a check-raise.

Great point. You had better be sure your opponent is capable of betting then folding to a raise on the same street before you even think about a play like this. Many players aren't.

In general, if you think your opponent has just overcards and you want to push him out of the pot you are a lot better off just betting than trying for the check raise.
