If I'm raised on the flop and I have a made hand or it's made on the turn, most of the time I will check raise the turn.

Now I understand the check raise sets off warning bells for a lot of players and they either slow down or fold afterwards. But is a stop n go a way of getting more bets out of your oppoenent?

Or am I missing the point completely?
