To reiterate: check-call, check-raise, or lead flop in this very common situation are all playing style considerations. I began to make an argument about which style I prefer, but there is not point in engaging in that here.

None of them are clearly correct or incorrect. People that lead flop here are going to do it with a lot of hands. People that check-raise here are going to do it with a lot of hands. People that check-call here are going to do it with a lot of hands.

Bruiser likes to check-call here. This is not wrong. Let's move on.

The meat of this hand is the action from the time the turn card peels off until completion.

Saying "lead flop" is simply lazy analysis.
