Default Re: 200NL - AA gets check/raised on turn

Why the hell would you check.

I usually always c-bet here. But, thinking hsi 5% raising range (and since he called my 3-bet), I figure he's on AA, KK, QQ, or AK. I think this is a WA/WB situation where I might be able to get more value from him by under-representing my hand here. Besides, sometimes its fun to take different lines to throw people off.

Mixing it up is obv a very very good idea, but this is absolutly the wrong spot to. He is much more likley to have AK than KK in this spot and pay you off with his stack. He could also be dumb and pay you off with worse hands. By checking, not only do you give a free card for him to suck out with or give yourself a difficult decision if a 3rd club comes like it did, but it is so much easier to get your entire stack in good if you bet the flop which is the whole point of re-raising it pre-flop anyway.
