    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.

    Every time you bluff a calling station, Nickelback releases another single.
    Wikipedia is the best thing ever. Anyone in the world can write anything they want about any subject. So you know you are getting the best possible information.

    Every time you raise a big draw, miss, and get called down by second pair...

    Every time you Bet/Call with a hand you should Bet/Fold with: Daddy gives mommy another "Fell Down" shiner.
    The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which unskilled individuals suffer from illusory superiority, mistakenly rating their ability much higher than average. This bias is attributed to a metacognitive inability of the unskilled to recognize their mistakes
