Default Re: 100 - Checked to me in a big pot

I check in position a lot, even on boards that are pretty good for my my hand, mostly when I am only going to get checkraised by a hand that I am flipping with and checking the flop may get more money in on the turn.

Example: I raise AAh5h6 in LP and the flop comes Qh 9h 5c. With four callers I'm going to get c/r'd a lot with aggro opponents on that flop. While I am usually fine playing a decent sized pot with my hand on that flop, sometimes for deception and to lower variance I will check behind.

That AA hand is definitely not one I'd consider checking in position. You're never in terrible shape if you get C/Red and a lot of really weak hands that you're beating can catch you if you let them. Something like T654 will never call a bet, but can hit a lot of cards to beat you.

The hands I like to check behind are either when I'm really unlikely to get drawn out on if ahead (i.e. AA on TT4 rainbow board) or where I don't have good equity to play a big pot, but do have some nut outs that I think I might get paid on if they hit.

Bet like 70% of the time, call a cr unless by a super nit.

It's certainly not something I do everytime or even 20% of the time. It's mostly a shania play and that probably wasn't the best example.

Also I like checking a lot more often in this spot if the stacks are bigger, say 250 or 300. If they are bigger again, say 1000, I like betting.
