Re: I never check
Bluffing with a made hand is a fun, sexy play and there are good spots for it (this hand NOT being such an example). That said, such opportunities don't arise very often and the EV of them is usually not very high because (1) the bluff is based on being able to fold enough hands in the opponent's range, but often he has a stronger hand that will make a good calldown and (2) sometimes he has a weak hand but shows it down anyway because people do that a lot.
So if you never turned a made hand into a bluff in LHE, you can still do very well.
