maybe this is a personal preference type thing, though.
I think this good intuition.
It reminds me of something of my own game - which is of a totally different calibre ofcourse, but a same sentiment - in which I thought it was a good idea to "maintain strength" after I check/raise on the flop (or simply bet over the pot), no matter if it was air/TPLK/draw/pp with overcard or an actually decent made hand like 2 pair/set/straight.. and then suddenly you've reached the river, half your stack is in the middle, your opponent raises your river bet all-in.. then you look at the 3469T board, then at your JT top pair and wonder.. "how the hell did I get here?"
