He also states, “If you had bet out on the turn when the deuce hit after capping it on the flop, any above-average player would most likely put you on your hand and you wouldn't get any action. That same player might still call your check-raise, perhaps hoping to fill up on the end, but at least he would have to pay to get there.”
