About Checking
Category: Texas Holdem FAQ
Hi,
I guess I have a very simple question to ask. When and for what reason will you check?
I hope to hear from you soon.
Best regards,

January,
There are lots of reasons to check. You may want to check to induce a check-raise, you can check when you miss with your hand, you may want to check to induce a bet. You may check to slow play. You may check dark to throw your opponent off. You can check because your opponent’s hair is blue. The reasons depends on the hand conditions and is up to you.
