The posters who want to bet the flop and keep firing have a much better case.

...than those that want to bet the flop to take a free river. I totally agree. But, I think you're undervaluing the value a flop check-behind has by inducing a turn bet from decent, but nearly dead hands (e.g. QQ through 55 with or w/o a heart).

I'd like to read your opinion of this too, if you don't mind sharing it.
