there are many situations that allow for a c/c. there are rivers that should only be c/c. there are flopped monsters that should be c/c to allow your opponent to catch up/bluff. it's not a play that should be used often, I'm just arguing that it has its place.

If you want to be more specific about recommendations of when check/calling leads to angel death, then so be it, but a blanket statement designed to tell people to never ever check/call seems wrong.

Everytime we generalize a dynamic game, an orphan bursts into flames.
It's not what's inside that counts. Have you seen what's inside?
Internal organs. And they're getting uglier by the minute.

LHE is a game where your skill keeps you breakeven until you hit your rush of random BS.

Nothing beats flopping quads while dropping a duece!

I have no interest in discussing strategy with a protege'. Your job is to remain quiet and listen. I have a very systematic approach that I will share with the right candidate and I promise that I will turn you into a force of nature and show you elements of the game of poker that you never knew existed.
