I don't think I've ever been in a situation where I could check or raise. You can check or bet, and you can call or raise (or fold), but you have to be facing a bet in order to raise... so you can't check.

Anyway, to answer the OP's (intended) question, it depends on lots of factors: number of players at the table (different for 2/3 players vs 6-max vs full ring); number of players who saw the flop; was it limped or did somebody raise pre-flop; did I raise pre-flop; aggression of the other players; my position in the hand (obv very different if I'm UTG or if I'm OTB); effective stacks (if a pot-size bet commits players, that's very different than having stacks that are 10x or 100x the pot); etc. Without knowing any of that info, it's probably close to 50:50. In the last month, I've been in situations where I'm first to act and I shove all-in on the flop, and I've been in situations where I check knowing that somebody will bet and somebody else will raise before it gets back to me.

*edit* Apparently I need to pay royalties to compuease...

And your point is? I assume this is a made up hand? Can't imagine, neither reraising you pre... And you mean you would check fold the river if a 2nd Q came? jeesh HVEE, I'm beginning to worry about you....

Like to play in the higher buy ins but don't want to deposit anymore than I have.

compuease

way way off topic but I have a hard time believing that 88 quad hand. Show us the HH...

If you do not shove this hand, you hate $$$. Honestly Ron, you really need to work on dealing with this, or you are going to go (more) insane.

I really wouldn't have a problem with it IF. it was to happen every once in a while like normally for most other people . But in all honesty it's been going on steady for about 3 weeks. It does not matter what cards are in my hand.
I keep flopping trips and get beaten down buy boats or QUADS.

I have seen so many river boats this last 2 weeks that I am ready to have a big neon sign mounted on my head that says GET IT AT PORKY'S
