Weak or not Weak?

I think checking the river applies even more so in NL. I had position on a guy with AA. I 3x pre-flop and like 4 people are in. The flop is K3x, so I throw out a bet. The next card is a low card. He bets, I call. The river makes a possible flush, he checks. I think I am beat, and I am pretty sure he is not going to fold if I put a big bet in. So I check. It turns out he had K3 and flopped two pair on me. Oh well. What can you do about that? So TPTK is definatly a good check on the river in NL I would think.. unless you are pure bluffing..

I was saying when you have position, a check back is obvious with TP (especially without top kicker), however if you are first to act it changes everything. If you have fired twice and received two calls, a check could be dangerous, because it shows weakness and may entice your opponent to make a large bet into the bet (with or without anything) then you are faced with a tough decision. As always it depends on the the action through out the hand, and what the board shows.

i probably would never check if i've led out and been called on the flop and turn, if i was facing an agressive player. checking the river and your opponent making a big bet (pot sized?) puts you to a gut wrenching decision. however a tight/rock type player i will probably check-call unless i think he hit his draw..in which case i will fold.
