Default Re: Getting into Battles Too Early On? Interesting Hand & Analysis

[ QUOTE ]
If the bet comes from an early position and two or three players fold, you can consider a check-raise (since you will usually have the best made hand here). If a late-position player bets big and you still have players to act behind you, you should probably just give it up.

This confuses me slightly. When I check a flop with the intention of potentially CRing, I am much more inclined to CR an LP bet than a EP bet, my reason being that the EP bettor bet into a field of active players who have not defined their hand yet. Whereas an LP bettor bet after it got checked around to him and everyone indicated weakness. The LP bettor is much more likely to be on a steal, plus you are making the rest of the field call a bet and a raise cold in order to continue with this hand. In fact, this line (checking the flop with the intention of CRing only the CO) might have won the hand as BB was pretty solid and might have layed down the draw.
