Re: Ciaffone quiz question-answers (his and mine)

but you can probably raise for value against a big field, especially if you have a couple of caller between the bettor and yourself. with a large enough field, checkraising an early (but later than you) bettor isn't out of the question.

This may be true, but isn't the typical scenario, as depending on where the bet comes from and how many people call it, calling may be best. But in both your and Ciaffone's scenarios, an intial check is advocated. Ciaffone never said he wouldn't check-raise, but I don't think the typical situation he envisions invovles a bet and 3 callers before you have to act, as he thinks of 4 players in the pot as a crowd*.
