Well, obviously this isn't a HU situation, or he would only be check calling 1 bet. Right? I guess I don't understand what you are asking. Let's put this Q/A back together in one place...

The question was:
---
in 6 Max LHE would it be often that a player would simply check call 3 bets with middle pair on the flop, never raising to see where he's at?
---

Your answer was:
---
Yes.
---

My answer was:
---
A very bad player, maybe.
---

No WAY am I check/calling 3 bets with middle pair on the flop. Unless I have some goofy open ended straight flush draw to go with it, I guess (like if I have 8sTs and the flop ius 7s8d9s, for example). Even then, I'm going to be firing and not check/calling.

But yes, I have seen other players do this with "just" middle pair, which I think is a terrible play (they have Qs4d and the flom comes AhQcJc). If someone checks that flop and then there is a bet, a raise, and a reraise and they CALL with their middle pair and no draw, yes, I believe they are a very, very, very bad player.
