You cant be in fear of a check raise. It might happen but until it does I dont worry much about it on the flop. I worry about it a lot more on the river when the pot has gotten big.

You find your check-raised more on the river than on the flop? If you have the nut straight on the river why would you care?

a giant bluff sized bet

Is this part of your game?

This is another reason that I think a normal sized bet is good. Once people start putting money in the pot they dont want to let go, even if a strait possibility shows up. If they have nothing invested in the pot they drop it like a hot potato when a scare card hits.

That's definitely the
main reason why a big bet on the flop is wrong. You nailed it. If someone calls, they will be pot-committed!

I am 90% sure you will make more money off this hand in the long run by betting this flop instead of checking it.

That depends on table conditions and obviously what your opponents hold. 90% sure, eh?

they overbet at the pot instead of a normal bet, then feel the need to move in on turn when they miss. I even see this encouraged in this forum sometimes.

Is there a play money forum now? I must have missed this post...
