I have never used it in all my years and I can't think of a single situation where it would make sense to. Am I the only one?

It doesn't make sense to use any preselect button anyway; you're giving informations for no reason.

If u have an ultra nutted combo in a spot where nothing will call you...for example, if you flop quads on AA6r u might be able to. I would never use it, but there are some spots with stone nut hands where my plan would be to call any bet but check when checked to.

The check button doesn’t give away any info,
except preflop on the BB or a post, and then it’s pretty minimal information leaked. The fold button only gives away meta info about your range.

Check/call any doesn’t make any sense to use ever in a NL game.

ill use it occasionally as a false tell/spazzy image/to be funny. its basically like giving some bluffy guy the middle finger if u soul read an incoming tank/jam and snap him off. other than lols i think its useless

Why is this so complicated? They might as well call it the Slowplay button.

I multi-table play tournaments on PStars and I use it from time to time as in these you often get stuck with an extremely small stack. You often get an early position raise or shove that covers you and have a top hand you would never ever fold.
I think the button I use is still labelled "Call Any/Check" in these situations but I may be mistaken.

The "fold to any bet" button on the left is pretty useless too i believe.

HU in position where there's only one real bet size to make and we don't want to fold
