When check-raising, the first mistake players make is not knowing when to check-raise. A check-raise should only be used as a semi-bluff or as a value bet. A check-raise should not be used as a way to try and catch players who are bluffing. The second mistake players make is not betting enough when they do check-raise. The bet should be large enough to make players think twice about calling, but not so large that it looks like a bluff. The third mistake players make is check-raising too often. Players should only check-raise around 20% of the time. Any more than that and players will start to catch on. The fourth mistake players make is not following up with a bet after the flop. If the player checks the flop and the turn, they should almost always bet the river. The fifth and final mistake players make is not understanding why they are check-raising. Check-raising should only be done for one of two reasons: to get value from a hand that is better than the board or to bluff a hand that is not strong enough to call a bet.
