You don't check because it's the easiest way to play, you check for value. Not inducing bluffs from very agressive players and only play as stove tells you is whats mediocre. And after bet/calling against 2 players on turn you pretty much must call river and thats not a good play with 2:d pair.

I suggest you study the concept of valuechecking on turn vmacosta.

gvasa,
I've always felt that valuechecking on turn is a pretty dumb concept, especially if you can get people to make more expensive bluffs by raising the turn and following through on the river.

In this case the pot is large and multiway so there is very little relative value in a check.

Your point about pokerstove might be true for the bigger games in 5-10 years (or sooner if bots manage to infiltrate in a big way), but for now if you played a game based strictly on pokerstove equity you would be a very big winner.

I think it's a very good concept since it balances the risk to reward ratio.
