Re: Poll: Facing a Check-Raise
Well, it is a cop out, but there are just so many things to take into account when you're doing this, like whether your opponent seems to like to bluff. If I'm against someone who wins 50% of seen flops but has only shown down 4/40 hands, I'm going to open up my range against him and call or raise with much less than bottom pair. If I'm against someone who hardly ever makes it to showdown, I'm folding just about everything but the nuts or a monster draw.
It is hard to classify a single "SSNL player", since there are so many styles out there. I'll see people who will check-raise with any piece of the board, and I'll see people who will never dream of check-raising.
And as to your post down yonder, yup, semi-bluffing is profitable, but I'm sure you knew that.
