Ah thanks for the response. Ya, betting flop and check/calling turn makes me sick. Only time I'd do this is if I was sure I had a lock hand and opponent may improve to a better 2nd best hand or would bluff..or if I wanted to do some weird check raise bluff (not at anything below 3/6 though!).

In position it looks like the same principles that apply to limit apply to no limit, they're just magnified.

BTW, we only check the turn to induce a bet from a worse hand if the opponent wouldn't of called the bet himself on the turn, right? Otherwise it'd just be better to bet the turn and check behind on the river, or value bet?

Also, do you factor in the chance an opponent may go all in on the river if we check the turn (assuming semi deep stacks, 200 bb or more) with a weaker hand where we may be blown off the best hand as opposed to betting the turn a decent amount and either checking behind on river or betting 1/2 pot - 2/3, maintaining control of the hand?

Thanks again!
