Default Re: Check Raise %?

1.9% at 5/10 SH.

I dont slowplay to much, I like to bet. But since I like to bet I also have to check some ok hands, otherwise check=weak.

I normally checkraise in 3 situations.

1) On flop when I am sitting in blinds hitting a pair against preflopraiser. I want him to pay seeing turn with his overcards.

2) If I flop a good hand (like a set), bet flop from EP and turn is an A or other dangerous card. I check(raise), hoping A is theirs.

3) If I am on a draw against one or more aggressive player and I am checkcalling flop and hit my draw on turn or river.

Standard checkraise at SH is this: Someone flop a good hand from Early Position and think: "Oh, a good hand, lets slowplay..." This is normally not a good checkraise. Slowplaying should normally be done when you got position. Failure is to expensive out of position.
