Default Re: 10-20 BB turn check-raise to get heads-up

hi diplomat
if both called me on the turn and i didn't improve on the river, if a high card came off i would check it down if checked to and fold rather than calling 2BB cold unless my call closed the action.

if a lower card came off, i would bet if checked to since i hold the A of suit, and call if bet into. if it were 2BB cold to me, i would again only call if my call closed the action. i would not bet out into my opponents trying to quell a raise because i like the prospects of a free-showdown on the river which is another good reason to check-raise the turn. also notice that i do not need to bet the river to stop a bluff raise. the turn check-raise has covered that cost too. i can check and call with greater surety even if the UTG checks to the button who then bets. my turn check-raise allows me to call the button more confidently.
