If it's checked to you twice, do you bet 100% of the time?

Say you have position on one player, and he checked on the flop and you checked behind him. You have nothing and no draw. Then on the turn, he checks again and you still have nothing. Do you bet here all the time ?

Nothing is 100% (board/player/etc. must be accounted for), but your bet % should be pretty high here, as you will make money long term for sure.

Personally, checking to me twice is like pushing a button: bam: I bet!

100% would be stupid because it would be way too predictable. Personally, I like to trap players who often make this automatic bet by checking a big hand to them twice. If they don't have anything, this is just about the only way to extract money from them.

My own percentage is probably around 70%. I'll rarely make the bet against more than two players though.

Weary as I am of traps, I know a trappable prey when I see one. Few things in poker are as enjoyable as flopping the nut Boat, min betting or checking into the guy who owns a bam button, and repopping.

In general though a reasonable bet will usually take the double checked hand down, but as said, you don't want to get predictable about it.

90% of the time :D. The only thing that holds me back is if I know the opponent to be a notorious check-raiser.

I will only bet if the player has not consistently check-raised and I will usually bet half the pot, if he has nothing he is folding, if he does come over the top it's an easy fold for me but I will usually take my chances to take down the pot.

Ditto. To add to this the raise in this situation is asking "how you doing?" to the other guy. Answers: RR= Very well, thanks. Call=Need another card or trap, Fold = :D. Need to also avoid doing this with calling stations as well though.

I don't bet ALL the time. Most of the time I would, but you have to change your game as to not be too predictable. Depending on the playing style of the other people at the table, it may be much better to just check and trap someone.
