thanks for the post. In position against a flop check raiser, since I try to only raise or fold so I am always raising in podition, I am sure the flop checkraiser will bet turn and i auto raise any turn card. I agree, I should have bet the river as well. If I 3 bet flop and he ace comes on turn I might lose the weak hand from flop so allowing him to think his check raise scares me allows him to think he can bet the turn and i will fold, but I will actually raise turn no matter the card thereby gaining half a 1 small bet. But as you stated, if i fail to bet the river with this play then I lose 1 small bet also. The first hand is correct in think, for somewreason I figured the rake wasnt maxed, must have brain farted.
