Check... Raise All In

[Kwinn1]

Is it just me or does it seem that more often than not big hands are checking flops and turns in hopes of their opponent catching something? I find this happens so much more in online poker.

I'll sometimes play a big hand that hits the flop like this. But it does depend on other factors.

It really depends on how polarizing the board is. For instance, if you 3-bet with AA and the board comes ATT rainbow there's almost nothing your Opp will call with unless they have the last A or made a super-loose call with TX. On the other hand if you call an open with A5dd and the board comes QT4ddd you'll see more bets as you'll get called by worse flushes, QX and even KdX.

Depends on position and opponent, but I won't elaborate because I never give away my secrets

I love the check raise all in. But it usually doesn't get a call.

Feel like there's too much variance, it depends on the board

I will make this play if OOP against an overly aggressive villain. The goal is to get them to stop their pot sized 100% cbet. You have to have something when you make this play. You can do this with over cards or a draw, but you need something in case they call. Chances are villain call you if you do this twice in a row, so have at least top pair good kicker the second time.

usually when my opponent checks for all-in right after. I do not hesitate to fold my hand.

The goal of check/all in is to get that extra bet/fold, with a chance of doubling up.

Let's say the board is

You might check/all in with a K, J, KK, KJ, QT, or with a diamond draw. You could also bet out those hands, but you likely would be missing out on villain's cbet.

Check/all in is a great way to aggravate and possibly tilt an aggressive cbet villain. If nothing else, it might slow their cbet percentage.

In tournaments check-jamming is a very effective move, when stacks are short enough. Not only with nutted hands but also with decent draws.
