Villian c/r's often but bets relatively little. Why does everyone want to check to induce a bluff against this player description? If he is often checkraising with air or weak draws why would our response be to give free cards and then hope he bluffs?

I also think that the double c/r is far from a forgone conclusion here. Yes hes more likely than most to try it, but hes doing it with junk often too meaning that we have the best hand quite often in this spot.

For the people who want to bet the turn, why not 3bet the flop? He calls with any 2 preflop, the flop likely missed him and a c/r from this guy on a drawy flop shouldnt scare us that much if at all. This game is four handed, I think we really need to start punishing him on flops when our hand compares favorably to his range and we have position. If I thought he was more likely to contine bluffs on latter streets I would be much more inclined to call down.
