    I never ever checkraise river. Probably less than .01%, whether it be for value or as a bluff. Is this a very big leak? Is the river checkraise a play that good players will make? I always feel like I'm losing too much value by checking a hand I should bet on the river. I don't see the river checkraise used online too often. It seems much more prevalent in the live cash games from the limited experience I have there. What are everyone's thoughts on the river checkraise?

    i usually only do it, when i'm really confident in my read that villian missed a draw, which isn't that often, or if i check a busted hand that i was betting and then decide that i can proalby steal the pot with a cr if the bet seems really weak.

    that beign said i probalby do it less than 1/100 opportunities.

    You have to be very, very sure he'll bet if you check, THAT'S where you lose a lot of value. If you're sure he'll go for it, and sure you'll win, I see no reason not to do it.
