Re: The turn paradox.
[ QUOTE ]
I bet and call down if raised. I reserve checking behind on the turn for when I'm actually worried I'm behind. Getting c/red here sucks but I really don't think its happening much.

Well, true that it probably isn't happenning all that much, but since you're saying calling down is correct, then that means you think villian is at least bluffing/semibluffing a decent % here. Also, i think this type of player will wait to turn CR here with a lot of his strongest hands, so a lot of times calling down you'll be only drawing to 0-2 outs which sucks.
However, There are a whole lot hands villian can have that are weak, 4-6 outers, so you'd prefer he paid to have to draw. But if he's just going to fold with those hands, but will likely give you a bet whether or not he hits on the river, by either inducing a bluff or a very loose call, then checking might be better. Overall though, i can see merits for either play, and i doubt that either could be THAT much better than the other. Maybe i'm missing something, but i think that this could easily be a spot good to mix up your play without sacraficing much EV either way.
