okay I have a different question...

This might sound weak on my part and this is apart of my game I want to improve.

Okay lets I have AT on the button (for sake of postion being key here)... It folds to me, I raise it up and get one caller.

The flop comes 2TJ and he checks to me and I check behind (or could fire a CB out) the turn brings a blank... he bets and I raise him, he calls... then on the river he checks and I check.

Is there a time when I want to raise on the turn IN ORDER to check it down on the river and get to showdown? obviously getting to showdown is easier when you have position.

Im wondering if this is a weak play or what...

Sometimes I like to raise the turn on a hand I think more times than not is ahead but I dont want to be bluffed out of the hand so I like to get to showdown.

What is your opinion on this?

PS: my example and explanation if this sounds vague but Im sure someone will understand what Im saying.
