Checkraising the turn costs the same as going to showdown.

Sorry, I don't get that. We are OOP. So if we check/raise him on the turn, we need to be sure he will check behind on the river to pay the same # of BBs as check/calling him down. Or do you compare that to check/calling the turn and bet/calling the river? I'm not sure what lines you are comparing.

The way OP played it, it costs 2BB to go to showdown. Check-raising costs the same as if he has the Ace he will almost always pop you again on the turn and you can fold, which costs 2BB. That's when you're behind.

If he just calls we are betting the river. This way we make more money when we're in front. If he just called and he had the Ace, no problem. You lost an extra BB but this is a player you know you can push around.
