Default Re: leading into the raiser...

[ QUOTE ]
It's a raised pot and you call from either big blind or middle position or wherever.

Ex 1: say your middle position w/ KQ and someone raises from late.

flop comes Kxx and you bet into raiser then he raises. Does that really help you out information wise? It seems like he either has AK AA or hell he could have QQ or JJ where you fold the best hand and waste a bet doing it. People seem to respect check raises more, or maybe they don't but i think they do. Wouldn't this give you more information?

Probably, but at higher cost. Check-raises are expensive when they fail. You don't get the information you want until you've already invested what is probably A LOT of chips.
