i used it as a bluff a couple times the other night - I don't bluff with it often as it loses some meaning, but i had this guy on my left who was playing every hand and would come over me everytime I bet - he wasn't good, he just musta thought thats what you were supposed to do - So I had nothing but a gut draw and i decided i had enough - I potted the flop and then just called his raise - I checked the turn, he bet and i raised him the pot again - I then bet large on the river (with air, oh it felt so good)_ and got the guy to fold - Basically he quit trying to come over me after that....

but normally i'm only check-raising pretty good hands or pretty big draws - It works best when you are OOP to the pfraiser - I wouldn't advise check/raising against weak passives cause your just giving free cards too often when they check behind - but if you have 3 or 4 players with a preflop raiser and your in the SB or something, that is the best time to check raise -
