Indeed not. Among other things, it can improve your equity in the pot! Would an early-position checkraise from a weak ace get someone in the middle holding TJ to fold? If so, it buys you three more outs than you otherwise would have.
Moreover, in the games
I play in, a checkraise will come from a player holding a hand like QJ or QT ... or 67.
Besides, think of how much things might change if the J
or T
should fall on the turn. (Or any club, or any J or T.) Yes the board is relatively dry, but your backdoor draws add some strength to your hand.
