I think this is a very good point. i think in a few of those hands you mentioned, check calling would certainly be warranted against an aggro villain who has been betting weak hands. Check calling definitely controls the pot at least.

In this hand in question, I think there is something that can be said for checking this flop as well and if it was HU I may have done so. But in this multiway pot, the last thing I wanted to do was give 3 players a free card!

If there weren't two other very weak players at this table, I would have DEFINITELY left the table. And a seat change would have been helpful!

I always find that I learn the most when a few solid FTRers disagree in difficult spots and give their reasoning behind it, so keep it up HalfSane, Genitruc and Zenbitz!
