He's not talking about that rusty. Lots of people on this thread understand it well though. Checking in the dark is all about messing with the opponents understanding of our range. We're messing with our image. Our perceived range...
Every time we make a decision the opponents understanding of our range changes. If we check in the dark the opponent isn't able to take anything from our re-action to the future card/s before making their own action.
I don't use this move myself, presuming that it stops me from being able to direct the opponents understanding of my range towards specific hands. But, as I think, I do imagine that it would make my range look like it isn't going to change a great deal based on the future card/s.
I can also imagine it would often spaz my opponents out too. It would confuse their understanding of my range. But, I don't like dirty tricks. I prefer to fight like a gent.
