Something I've picked up on lately - I have position on a single villain, and they bet the flop - if I re-raise their initial bet, they almost always call my re-raise but then check the turn, meaning if I had a good draw I can also check and see the river for free.
I've managed to draw so many hands doing this lately since I noticed it.
I'm assuming most players with any amount of experience are aware this happens (unless I'm imagining it), but my question is - am I mathematically correct in checking the turn as well? I always do it if I'm in this situation but I can't help feeling I'm missing out on some value since (if my hand hits on the river) villain will almost certainly know and be less willing to bet anyway.
But if I bet the turn villain might re-raise/shove and put me in an awkward position.
