I basically agree with Stox in this thread. The turn will go check-check a good chunk of the time, and you will get a cheap showdown.

However, this got me to thinking about the fact that when I have a big hand here (say, something that beats KK), I tend not to call the flop and check-raise the turn, opting instead for check-raising the flop, hoping to get raised on the turn. I wonder if these strategies are incompatible (i.e. opponent can now continue with a turn bluff with his AJ/AK fearlessly), or if the times that I simply check call all the way (with, say, JJ) make up for it.
