Default Apathy style theory question SSNL version - Checking flop in the blind

6-max. 100BB stacks. You are the BB. Someone (not the SB) raises and you call.

How much, if any, EV are you sacrificing by always 100% of the time checking the flop?

i dont see how you could say always 100% of the time.. like if you spike a set, or two pair, on a draw heavy board, how do you not lead out.

This answer is as useless and not the point of this type of thread as is possible. The idea is to discuss the kinds of things it depends on, yo.

If villain cbets 100% of the time, leading out is terrible independent of your holding and the board.

Actually thats exactly what one my posts was about and the end result of the thread seems to be that even when someone c-bets 100% of the time you should still lead some hands.

If theres a maniac who will bluff his stack away, leading would be a big mistake.

Master, no, its not useless, its true. This is about as broad of a topic as you can say, and there is NO possible way to classify the amount of EV lost by never leading. However, what I meant is it depends on your own game, not the flow of the game, how much you'll lose. A good player oop will lose less, a bad player will lose more cuz his ability to manipulate the pot size, and therefore his EV, will be lower. A good player would be able to take this singular line and using bet sizing manipulate the pot.
