A few hands

hand 1: why not check/call this flop.
-When you bet you can get raised, which sucks.
-When you check and its to bets cold, you can fold.

Yes, but when you check and it goes check check behind you that sucks most of all.

There is a very realistic chance you have the best hand on this flop and although getting raised does suck, it sucks much less than having the flop get checked through those times that your hand is best.
