If you are on the receiving end of a check-raise, you have to ask yo"r' self, does this player want me to call? Again, you have to look at the position of the check-raiser to determine if he is attempting to bin" you into folding, or trying to suck you into putting more money i" the pot.

Take a look at the board and determine how your hand stands up against the best hand that can be made. If the check raise came on the turn when the limits were double you can figure that the raiser is trying to get you to call two bets on the turn and another one on the river. Unless you have a powerful hand of your own, this is usually a good time to get out while you can do so cheaply.
