dsaxton, i respect you as a player. But you have a tendency to look at plays from a very skewed and unfair point of view.

Checking here, from me (or you, or any player), is a missed hand the vast majority of the time. It doesn't "look like a slowplayed boat or AA." Sure, a boat or AA might slowplay this, but not as often as a missed AQ/AJ/QQ/TT/99/air would check.
