This is called the Josh W play.

It is? When/where did he say this? Sure you aren't mixing it up with his c/r the river when you whiff a turn, c/r?

Justin has broke his vow of silence.

I do both of these things, a lot. And, by "a lot", I certainly do not mean "with optimum frequency".

In PJs hand, I don't raise the river all the time, either.

The reason why I started doing this all the time a few years ago is that I play with a bunch of regulars all the time. By checking this turn with strong hands, it made it so I never have to pay off with a hand like QQ, but I also get to valuebet it on the river (and 44 will call).

I think it's the type of play that has a lot more benefit if you play in a game where everybody knows you fairly well.
