Re: When to check-raise?
check-raising is something that really loses value in NL.
two ok apps, however are:
C/R AI with a big draw in a raised family pot
C/R AI with a set when your relative position sets you up to bufu the field and the board gives them a reason to call (kind of a bigger game consideration, but still valid)
that said, the really good NL players are betting a lot and getting a lot of folds. one of the reasons they get so many is the fact that people are so scared of the 3bet. also, check/calling=>leading is a much better line in many instances when bad players like to checkraise.
