if we were to check call 3 streets with these hands, this would be the reason
OK JKDS, so for example suppose he shoves all-in on the turn or even makes a large bet, shouldn't we be reevaluating this line at this point? Our hand now just becomes a bluff catcher since we don't even have TPTK. The so-called "Baluga Theorem" (named after the poster Baluga Whale on 2+2), basically says that when the opponent bets big or goes all-in on turn, one pair is no good. I'm not saying I know what is right here....I'm just questioning and trying to understand.
Then we would check/fold. I really don't understand why by not cbetting with TT-KK, this necessitates that we call down all streets.
The problem with having a check/fold range without having a check/call range goes along with my previous post, though your point is well taken. Note that in addition to my previous post, having a check/fold range without a check/call range could exploit certain opponent tendencies. We would just have to be sensitive to adjusting properly if need be.
