i'll attempt a simple ex.

say i have 56hh flop is 4 6 T

i like a lead here some of the time, as my hand rates to be good, but it's not strong enough to make a check raise and calling down allows tons of scare cards to fall w/ zero info.

villain's pfr and aggression versus leads are obviously crucial.

checkraising = betting out in all of these scenarios except the pot is larger.

Also why did you choose hearts?

But why would a hand not be strong enough to checkraise but is strong enough to bet, when we have the exact same information about the opponent's hand in both cases and are betting the same amount relative to the pot? Doesn't seem logical to me somehow.

Shouldn't our bet out getting raised be just as bad as getting raised after making a check raise from a theoretical standpoint?

Ok basically we are just playing with shallower stacks if we use the checkraise option, and deeper stacks if we bet out.
