Default Re: Poorly Played?

I would be inclined to do this if I were three-bet on the flop. As M.B.E. pointed, it's standard to bet out after the flop check-raise. If three-bet on the flop, though, one can check-raise with fifteen outs when an innocuous card like the 4 comes on the turn. Even if you get three-bet on the turn, you can check-fold the river, as opposed to betting out when you miss. While the river is usually an automatic bet when one check-raises the turn, how many would check fold the river if a blank comes against this particular opponent, in light of the flop and turn play? Or, would the size of the pot mandate a bet in case he held the same hand, which, feasibly could be played the same way?
