i've been pondering this one myself and have come to no conclusions. (sorry for the lack of a hand histroy or specific example) but here is the situation...

say $10 sng...

personA checks then raises 5x the bet... turn comes raggy, and person checks again.

i just don't understand this play. personA has shown strength with the check raise. does personA expect personB to bet again. or was A check raising on a bluff??? i know this is quite general but i've seen it more than my share lately. do any of you use this strategy and if so what is the reasoning? i'm very intrigued thanks much!
