Perhaps. But I feel this is a way ahead/way behind situation. And in those situations, it is generally better to keep the pot under control. He may very well call a c/r with overcards and if one hits on the turn, you are in a bad spot.

But honestly, I'm not all that concerned what hits on the turn. If he calls my C/R, most of the time I'm done with the hand. I'm check-raising because when he has anything less than an overpair - i.e. the vast majority of the time - my C/R will often take down the pot, including his continuation bet.

Pot control is only important when you intend to see a showdown, and an unimproved middle pair isn't usually the kind of hand I want to do that with ... especially out of position and flying blind against a PF raise.
