Check-raise turn AND river [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

nah, not really, unless I'm the villain (see below). I'm more for checkraising the turn than the river though.

However, against an overly aggro player who actually thinks enough to realize that you think as well, this play may actually work since they don't expect you to be stupid enough to try and check raise twice.

I have fallen into this trap against players I've realized are thinking about the game. When they check again after having check-raised the turn and I sit with a missed draw my line of thought has been going like this:

* He check-raised me on the turn.
* He wouldn't think I'm so stupid I'd fall for it again, so this time his check realy means weakness and the turn c/r was just bluffing.
* I only need my river bluff (or my A-high) to work once in X times (X>5).

Hence, I bet. Get check-raised again and feel like the idiot I am.
