A declaration by the player who is first to
act before a community card is dealt, declaring a check regardless of the outcome of the
community cards.
The advantage of checking in the
dark is to negate the positional disadvantage by not revealing information by acting first
The disadvatnage is that it negates the player
option to bet if other players check
behind.
This
option is not available at online poker room
Example: I called his raise from late position with pocket 6's and checked in the dark
