	Check-raise - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A check-raise in poker is a common deceptive play in which a player checks early in a betting round, hoping someone else will open.
		The player who checked then raises in the same round.
		This might be done, for example, when the first player believes that an opponent has an inferior hand and will not call a direct bet, but that he may attempt to bluff, allowing the first player to win more money than he would by betting straightforwardly.

	Theory of Poker Excerpt
		Sometimes you can check raise with a come hand like a four flush if there are many people in the pot already and you don't expect a reraise, for you are getting good enough odds, especially if you have a couple of cards to come.
		Check raising is checking your hand with the intention of raising on the same round after an opponent bets.
		Check raising and slowplaying are two ways of playing a strong hand weakly to trap your opponents and win more money from them.

	Sandbagging (poker) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This might involve a check or call with a hand that you might otherwise raise with, to lure other players into the pot who might fold to a raise, or to lure them into betting more strongly than they would if you had bet or raised.
		This is often dangerous because it sacrifices the protection that a bet or raise would give you, and it also risks losing the pot-building value of a bet if your opponents also check.
		This play is best when there are several players behind you, and they are the kind of player likely to call one bet but not a raise.

	Poker Strategy: Stud Poker Strategy: Check Raising, part two.
		If, for example, you check raise a bettor who is right in front of you, then the other players in the game have already called his bet before your raise - making it likely that they will call your raise as well.
		If you did check, with the intention of check raising, and Sam bet, then Hoy and Moty would be likely to call Sam's initial bet and your raise.
		If Sam the raiser is to your right, however, there's no reason to check-raise, since your raise will likely knock out the other players and you'll be playing heads up.

	UPF - Check-Raising in No Limit
		Typically a check raise is to get more into the pot and flush out some weaker player who have already called.
		I do not think this is the answer to your question, but I think since in limit you have the max bet limitation, the check raise can maximize your winnings if you have a great hand, the nut or a good bluff.
		I no limit if you check raise, that person can come over the top of you and essentially make you fold if the bet it too great for your cards.

	GameMaster's Poker School - Lesson 16
		As you undoubtedly know, the vast majority of the time the other players will check to the raiser - it's done so often that the saying is a part of poker lore.
		You raised, which indicates a "big" hand and if you can somehow convince your opponent that you hold a hand that can beat a pair of Aces, you can likely make him or her fold.
		If you have raised, a lot of what will happen on the flop really depends upon what position you're in; a raise from under-the-gun (UTG) is usually perceived as being stronger than one from the Button, for example.

	The bluff check raise
		Check, I bet my J high flush thinking he would have been worried about me checking it down if I did not have a flush so my J should be good.
		Check and call then check and call the river - you'll lose two big bets if your opponent has the flush and you might end up giving your opponents a free card to improve them to the best hand.

	The Check-Raise Bluff
		For example, if players are calling or raising with hands such as K-Q, small pairs, or weak aces (which is quite common in most $15-$30 and $20-$40 games, based on my observation), they will be hard-pressed to call a check-raise, even when they might hold a pair.
		Finally, if the check-raise bluff fails and you are forced to show the bluff, you will probably have to readjust your thinking at the table and play a very solid (unimaginative) game from that point on.
		Since your raise might convince an opponent that you have the straight (or even a set or two pair), he very well may throw his hand away.

	Poker Tutorial: Quiz
		By raising on the flop you're basically announcing that you've flopped big; this makes it less likely that someone will 'make a play' at you on the turn (by check raising you, or by lead betting) if a scare card comes, since they'll figure you're going to the river with your big hand anyway.
		Notice that if the pre-flop raiser raises your bet (and he will raise if he has an overpair), the rest of the field is going to be looking at calling two bets cold.
		If you call the flop, then lead bet the turn, the pre-flop raiser may just call your turn bet with a hand as big as an overpair, since he may be afraid that you've slowplayed a monster (which in fact you have).

	The World Poker Tour Fan site - The Check-Min Raise
		Check-min Raise may do this move to drive out the 2nd and 3rd players who still have yet to act by forcing them to call a bet and a raise.
		The player(s) who do this check-min raise move are newbies to online poker who click the "raise" button before or without even considering entering the amount of the raise, so the computer puts in the minimum raise.
		Even though the raise is only a minimum one, sometimes when you're faced with a bet and a raise, any raise, some players will fold thinking either the better or the raiser has a better hand.

	Texas Holdem
		A passive player frequently checks and calls or checks and folds after the flop and does not push the betting with an advantage; conversely, an aggressive player often raises for a variety of reasons after the flop with an advantage.
		A tight player plays premium hands, has high standards for calling raises; conversely, a loose player often limps in (calls before the flop without raising) and cold-calls (calling a raise without raising) more often than is correct.
		If they think are you a tight player, they will be less inclined to call your raises; if they think you are an overly-aggressive player who frequently raises with marginal hands, they will be more inclined to call.

	Crushing the Microlimits: The Check-raise Part I - Poker Tips - PokerFaces.Net
		While the idea of using the check raise to knock players out usually applies to those situations where you expect the bet to come from your right, this second concept applies to hands where the bet will likely come from your left.
		Secondly, the check raise is often the best way to get more money into the pot when you have an unusual amount of pot equity.
		In a hand like this, where you have top pair in a big pot and a fairly coordinated board, you are almost always better off going for a check raise as opposed to betting out.

	The 2+2 Forums: 3/6 AQo Turn Check-Raise
		Lots of people with a T will check the river after you check-raise the turn, too, so this line ends up costing the same as calling down, maybe protects your hand vs the people in between on the occasions when you're ahead, and very very occasionally wins you the pot.
		The only people calling that turn bet are those with a T or two hearts, and hearts should check the river if they miss.
		He might be the wrong guy to try this against but people tend to bet all sorts of stuff when checked to.

	Crushing the Microlimits: The Check-raise Part II - Poker Tips - PokerFaces.Net
		Since a raise by the pre-flop raiser won’t knock anyone out, you decide to go for a check raise, and hopefully trap the field for multiple bets.
		So, you bet out, and if the pre-flop raiser makes it two bets you take the good with the bad—some hands fold that you’re glad are out, and some hands fold that you wish had stayed in.
		But if you do that, the pre-flop raiser will probably just call with his likely overpair on the turn, which means the field will get to look at the river for one big bet.

		There is no reason for him to believe that you would have raised any of these hands pre-flop, or that the small blind would cap with these.

	Three-Bet the Flop or Check-Raise the Turn?
		Conversely, some opponents are very tricky and raise with all sorts of hands, hoping you will fold now, or they will get to see the river, and perhaps even call it, for one more big bet.
		The more draws the board presents, the more likely it is that your opponent is raising for a free card, and he will not bet when you check to him.
		You bet out and are raised, which narrows the field down to the two of you.

	Check Raising
		Do not check raise with a four flush and a pair or an open straight since you will make the most money with these sorts of hands with the maximum number of callers.
		Sometimes they will do the betting for you and you can just go along for the ride but you should still always attempt a check raise if you feel it is very likely you have the best hand.

		These games usually have 50% taking the flop, but this was a very unusually tight game.

	UPF - Check-raise or check-call?
		I decide to check it and go for the checkraise.
		The 99 raise is very interesting UTG--particularly since before reading this, I just chickened out on a 99 altogether there this evening (at the same table, though, I got a good pot actually raising 44 at button -1; got one caller who lost his nerve when I bet pot on the flop).
		The trick is of course going to be keeping the losses under control when you lose--particularly when TT to KK just call and you (I would think) as a rule are pretty much going to have to bet pot on the flop.

		Or should I check and risk showing weakness in order to hopefully catch a river A or K? Now for my bigger problem....Lets assume I'm in the big blind with Ax offsuit(assume the x is less than 9).
		If somebody bets and I raise them, they are almost definately going to call my raise at a low-limit table.
