I understand what you are saying about the CO being afraid of another checkraise, but what I was referring to was you can not give yourself a free card in early positon.

And as far a huge, maybe a huge is not the right word but with the second nut flush draw, a gutbuster straight, and two over cards i'm greater than a 50% favorite against any paired hands (less than Jacks), which means I'm passing up a fair amount of equity if the flop is checked through.
