calling here is one of those things that is probably not better at all but makes a player much more difficult to play against

lol? or are you serious?

yes i'm serious. check/calling in this spot with a wide range will confuse the opponent a great deal, but unless you know your opponent is a lagtard, he'll check behind a lot of turns and you'll miss value on the hands that beat his range. however, if your opponent is smart, he'll put you on an 8, a 9, or a flush draw or straight draw, and bet turn accordingly - usually as a bluff, and you can often call and win with these hands that could not two barrel for value.

what am i missing? haven't you ever heard of making your range/hand obvious against an aggro opponent to get him to bluff at it?
