An important weapon in NO Limit Holdem is the check-raise. The intention of this move is to steal smaller pots or try to ensnare players who are aggressors. You’ll see where you stand quickly. Your opponent will realize that you have a big hand and recognize that they’d better have one too.

If you check-raise early, it makes you look like you did not want to bet a big hand. After somebody placed a bet, you determined to reraise them, positioning yourself strongly. The late-position bet can frequently be a bluff, and there is a strong chance that you will be set to win the pot. Try to save your check raises for times when your opponent is trying to take the pot and utilize your outs at this time to maximize your chances for a better hand.

It can be especially effective to check-raise the turn. This technique makes it seem like you are slow-playing the hand until you take two turns at the pot. Most players will only stay in if they have a big hand at that point. If they remain in the hand, you will realize that you are up against a pretty good hand of cards.
