This is standard. Against some players who are bet-when-checked to types, or the overaggressive (borderline maniac) it can be profitable to check-call to showdown here.

Jeff_W and I talked about this type of play vs an overaggressive player - however, once you've done this a few times it becomes obvious when we are trying to get to showdown with a bluff-catcher, so we have to mix it up by checking some stronger hands on the turn (c/r perhaps) and betting some weaker ones again.

Against the majority of 5/10ers your line is better, however.(LPs/TAGs/TPs)
