CO will likely bet any flop when checked to
Hot/Cold equity in this spot is silly as very often we won't be showing down.

I think if CO is a difficult/tricky/unknown player who will challenge our isolate + destroy line then checking is a reasonable play. It's also a good mix up.

If CO is weak/predictable they we should raise a lot of crap here. If CO will give action with weak hands in absurd spots, we should raise here to build a pot and be estatic about getting our money in here.
