Check Behind
过牌跟注
Checking behind is when the last player to act checks instead of betting. This can be optimal when you want to give free cards to induce bluffs, protect your checking range, or deny equity to draws while keeping the pot small.
Example
On the turn with a medium-strength hand, check-behind to keep the river cheap.
