again, great thread.
Check raising here isn't a good play as it costs you a lot of money over the long run, and forces your opponent and yourself to be pot committed. When you're out of position, you really want to try to avoid playing big pots with marginal hands.
Better lines in this situation may be:
Bet, c/c, c/c or c/f
c/c, bet, c/c or c/f
Realize that if we c/c, bet turn here, you risk about the same amount of chips as a check raise, but you get to see an extra card, and two overcards would likely fold to this bet and you'd extract the same amount of information.
I love it when players do this. You don't have to do anything at all and you stack them. As Layne Flack says, "Why do they pushing, when the donkey does the pulling?"
