Perhaps I should have said "when villain catches a lucky river card he doesn't check-raise the river often." Nobody check-raises rivers often, because it's rare that we're OOP and catching a lucky card at the river. The question is: *IF* he rivers a miracle, does he frequently bet out or check-raise? Phrased that way, I think far more people check-raise the river than you might think. Even at the uNL tables, people LOOOVE to get all tricky-trappy. They think that's what poker is all about, and they live for the "HAHA! GOTCHA!" moments that come when they get to check-raise that river with a hand. Even if villain folds, they feel like Phil Phreakin' Ivey.
