I like checking this flop once in a while with extremely strong hands as it lets us get value on later streets vs lower pp's and also lets us get "truer" responses in later hands while discouraging villains to try bluffing us when we check in 3bet pots.

My standard play here however is to lead like three out of four times, sometimes c/r'ing the turn, sometimes c/c'ing, and sometimes leading again depending on the villain.

if i've seen him double-barreling alot i'll call the flop and c/r the turn I think raising this flop pretty much folds out alot of hands we beat that might bet again on the turn.
