NL10 Check raise spot? NL10 Check raise spot?

Is this a spot to check raise? I don't ever do it so not really sure what to do with it. Think probably my 4 is not an out in a lot of cases as he can have a lot of Ax. Means OESD less likely to land as well.

PP and OESD on low board though felt like good spot to semi bluff check raise.

It's probably okay in principle (possibly we're bluffing too often if we do this - overs + backdoors is probably better because it allows better barrelling opportunities but I'm not concerned about turning SDV into a bluff here considering it's often going to be really tough to get to SD) but I don't really like it against this player. X/c is better.

Thanks TDA. Would you call another street if unimproved? K, Q or J if they bet for example?

Against a DB, assume a 6 out draw with little in the way of implied odds and check the pot odds.

So no unless he bets pretty small then?
