Default Re: Firing the second barrel - a discussion

It is incorrect to call on the river unimproved after calling a check raise on the turn.

I don't understand why you believe this is true. I routinely call down check-raises in spots where I think it's likely my opponent had a draw and missed, and often I'll win the pot. the semi-bluff check-raise is the most overused play in the games I play in. this may be different at 15/30 though. Now, I can guarantee that I've lost money by calling down too much after being check-raised, but since I call routinely, I notice that they often have nothing. there's got to be some way to figure out when it's right to call or not.

I'm going to go through my db and post some hand examples.
