Re: 2-4 at pokerroom
O.K., the check is suspicious, but I still think betting the flop makes the hand easier to play. Even if you get check-raised you're good a decent percentage of the time, you're not necessarily in horrible shape. I.e., he may well see your PF raise as a steal, this means he'll 3-rack PF lighter, and thus the flop check-raise will be made with a goodly number of pocket pairs and weaker aces, and sometimes even less if he's aggressive and intelligent. Also, you can't be sure a worse hand will fire on the turn or river, so you miss a non-negligible amount of value by checking the flop.
