in 6 Max LHE would it be often that a player would simply check call 3 bets with middle pair on the flop, never raising to see where he's at?

Are you saying, HU against an aggro player, that you never let them hang themselves?

There are certainly a few (if not more) situations where this profitable.

Well, obviously this isn't a HU situation, or he would only be check calling 1 bet. Right? I guess I don't understand what you are asking. Let's put this Q/A back together in one place...

No WAY am I check/calling 3 bets with middle pair on the flop. Unless I have some goofy open ended straight flush draw to go with it, I guess (like if I have 8sTs and the flop ius 7s8d9s, for example). Even then, I'm going to be firing and not check/calling.

But yes, I have seen other players do this with "just" middle pair, which I think is a terrible play (they have Qs4d and the flom comes AhQcJc). If someone checks that flop and then there is a bet, a raise, and a reraise and they CALL with their middle pair and no draw, yes, I believe they are a very, very, very bad player.

[PShabi]

Obviously.

I didn't say check/call a raise. I was more talking about a heads up play against an overaggressive player with position on you. You have middle pair that you HAVE to show down against this particular opponent. You don't want to call a raise and he'll raise hands that you beat. I have no problem giving him the rope to hang himself in that specific situation.
I guess I missed the word "often" in Zy's post

Actually, I think the words you missed were: "check call 3 bets."
