The one other problem I had in this MTT was paying off the check-raise, even when their board was ragged. I think it's actually a bigger problem in poker for me where I'm so afraid to be bluffed off of a decent hand that I'll call down without thinking, and without improving when all the cards are out.

I don't think this is always bad, as I sometimes have hidden outs in hold em, but I just feeling that I'm a calling station when faced with a late check-raise. Usually, people have it. Do I just call down (because the pot is big) and expect to get beaten? In cash games, this might be okay because of the size of the pot, but in a tournament setting, this type of thing can kill you, especially when the blinds are big.
