When do you check it down and when do you protect your hand against draws?

I know you shouldnt bluff someone who could beat the all in out of the pot But at some point you have to stop your apponent from drawing out or am i wrong about that ive seen it done both ways also ive tried to check it down only to be put all in on the river that youve let draw to his strait or flush

Well, what's your hand? Give me some examples. I don't mean to act like a Hermione. I just feel like different situations call for different plays. It doesn't mean I always make the right play. I suck out a fair bit too. But still...

Give us a couple hand histories where checking down backfired.

I don't understand what you're saying. If you're in a three way pot with one player all-in, how are you going to stay away from flush draws?

Oh and to the OP - Is it that you're flopping sets and two pairs consistently?

The rules of tournament poker etiquette say that in a 3 way pot with one player all-in, the other two players check their hands down, unless one player significantly improves his/her hand. The worst outcome would be for one of the hot-all-in players to bet and the other not-all-in player fold what turns out to be the winning hand that could have knocked the all-in player out of the tournament.

In a cash game, this rule does not apply nearly as strongly. If you improve your hand, bet just as you would if one of the players was not all-in. If the other player calls, the money goes in a side pot.
