Re: Why you should never check/fold hu when capped preflop.
bet/fold can NOT equal check/fold as you just demonstrated.
bet/fold has an opportunity to take the pot even while holding a worse hand than your opponent (and check/fold obviously does not).
as far as "what hand are we possibly ahead of here?"
I've seen opponents who cap 77 PF just because they are WAY over-zealous. Obviously they would fold if bet to...but checking to them gives an opportunity for them to take it with a worse hand.
It's possible...though obviously not likely.
