OK. One simple example. Three players in the pot. Player A checks, player B checks because he cant bluff against two players, C checks too and shows a winning hand. Now if player A folds, its more easier to player B to bet, because he knows for sure that player A isnt going to call/raise. Now player C is in a bad spot. Player C decides not to call. What happend? Player C lost a pot he would have won, if Player A had checked instead of folding.

Couldn't Player A's action just as easily compel Player C to call because he knows Player A won't be check-raising?

this is a poor and inconclusive example.

It is very good and very simple example. I really hope you could understand it.

Lets change the action. Player A checks against two players, player B folds, now player C is facing only one player. You think B´s fold was fine?

Bigfishead said it well.
