HU the checkraise or weak lead is almost always the play with middle pair (us. w/weak kicker) from the blind. Which of those to do is a complicated judgment call.

But Multiway:
-Check/fold IF a bet comes from early position and is raised behind.
-Check/call IF a bet comes from early position and several limp behind. Fold turn unimproved.

This is such a common situation, and my instincts serve me so poorly here, that I think I'll just adopt this approach as a hard-and-fast rule for the time being. Your thoughts?

I'd add that very often middle pair weak kicker is a fold if an ep bets and there are several callers.

Meh, i'll disagree. You'll usually have odds to draw to hit your kicker.
