Default Re: Play Along: Hand Protection and Pot Odds

[ QUOTE ]
I disagree that a check/raise sucks. BB may fold for a single bet from the button, depending on what sort of player he is, and I'd be quite happy facing CO with two cold in this very large pot. A c/r does indeed protect our hand from him. You're much less likely to get 3bet on the flop by a worse hand than you are to get raised, so it has the side benefit of making the rest of the hand easier to play.

I agree that a C/R on the flop wouldn't suck, but I don't think it's the best way to play the hand. What do you think?
