If I check / call $30 on the turn. All Im doing is giving him a free shot to outdraw me. Free, because he already paid $30 when I think Im ahead. Why not make him pay some more when I think Im ahead and he might call?
if he has anything below QJ, and I check / call...I think he checks behind on the river alot of the time. Why not check raise him? Not only do i make him pay more than he wants to, but if he folds some junk like Q9 or 65s, it will teach him not to try to take the pot away when I check it to him.

), but I would hardly ever check/raise in this spot.I would have to be sure that: I have the best hand (likely) AND they would bet (player dependent) AND that they would call the checkraise (unlikely).
In my opinion, checkraising in this spot is turning your hand into air.
If I lead and was raised I would fold against most players.
If I check/called, I would often check/call most rivers and sometimes lead.
You also say that if river blanked you wouldn't mind your river push.
This is only true because the pot is huge because of your check/raise and you only have 1/2 pot left behind.
I am not looking to play for stacks with TPTK on this board against most players.
P.S. When I write "he won't call with worse hands", I should have said "he won't call with most worse hands". The only hand I see calling that you beat is KQ. But that's only one hand and there are a lot of others in his range.
