Why would a player do this? If they were slowplaying the flop (like if they made a set), wouldn't they check-raise the turn?

Sometimes this line extracts the most from your opponent:

Eh, I think I got lucky that he overplayed his AQ. But the line definitely got more with a donkbet than a checkraise, because these kind of lines really confuse aggressive opponents.

"donkbet": unexpected bet from an early position player after shown aggression on previous street by a later positioned player. Not to be confused with stop-n-go.

very important and often underrated part of a poker player's arsenal. used for confusion, protection, and value (situation pending).
