Default Re: check/call check/call lead

I like a flop check-raise against a LAG, since the only hands you're reasonably behind here are AK, AA, and KK, and KK is pretty unlikely. You don't want to risk him checking behind on the turn, you have a lot of equity against his range, if he's really aggressive he might put in a third bet while behind, and he's not folding for a small bet even with a hand like AQ where he's drawing to three outs.

I assumed an implication of "he's a LAG" is that he'd rarely check behind on the turn. Why is checkraising the flop better than checkraising the turn, then?
