It's a value check. cbetting basically just makes better hands call and worse hands fold give or take. By checking I'm assuming a slightly higher risk in the hopes that I can extract more value from his middle pair type hands and possibly induce him to bluff into me. Of course by doing this I sometimes end up in shit spots. Hence the post.
