    Sure. The gist of it is that you want your checking range to be stronger, as a general strategic plan to invest less in general, but also to prevent opponents from being able to auto-bluff you off of hands whenever you show weakness (ie, check).

    It's also important that you are well aware of the lines you take after you show down a hand at a table. If it was a strong hand, and you use this line again, people are more inclined to fold (so bank in your memory to use this as a bluff, unless you know your opponents are multi-level thinkers, in which case the leveling game begins but that's more advanced stuff), and you can use other lines, like checking 2p here, to get value. Like I said it's not my default play but it's definitely in my repertoire depending on my opponents and what I've been doing at a table.

    The argument that P4s made for checking is that we're near the bottom of our range, so checking with this hand actually makes our checking range weaker.

    It still makes your checking range stronger, unless you're betting all your air here (if you have this in your range after a cbet), and your checking range is the nuts. I personally would never c/f here barring reads, rather c/c or b/f. To c/f here seems pretty specific play against strong opponents.
