Avoid using auto-check or auto-check/fold, unless you are trying to trap. Players know it’s impossible to react that quickly to your turn and so when they see it react that fast they know you are most likely just trying to fold away the hand which can induce a bet, forcing you to autofold. Even if you hit a really bad flop, you could still turn runner-runner for a set at a minimum. So don’t give your opponents a reason to push you out of the hand if they don’t already have one.
On the other hand, if you do hit a big hand and you want to trap, instead of just checking, use auto-check. It may lull your opponents into thinking you are auto-check/folding and just might be the deciding factor in pulling off that trap.
