Check/raising the turn in 3bet pots with overpairs

Hi guys,

I'm having a lot of success with check/raising overpairs on the Turn in 3b pots. Just wanted to throw that out there.
Maybe some of you guys want to test this strategy and see how it works for you.
So I guess it works because people stab literally always when you cbet and then check the Turn.
The classical saying "I put u on AK" comes to mind.

People also get into the habit of wanting to protect their overpairs. It's not bad to protect your overpairs but when you see that I check/raise my strong overpairs you should be capable of making that tough laydown because I literally stopped bluffing in these spots (I get called way too much).

But overpairs are only a medium sized part of peoples ranges on say lowcardboards 223 for example. People don't love to float 223 but they will still call AQ AJ which are hands they will regularly check facing a flop cb and a Turncheck but they may bet it as well and with check/raise Turn I often win more money than if I had bet.

Now I remember when I played NL25 people were more cautious when they saw me checking the Turn. I think that this checkraisinf-strategy is only effective if used sparingly. What's your opinion of it (maybe at higher stakes)? Does it work at 10NL?

Did I just explore the biggest leak NL5 players have?

I hope that not many micro players read this or else they may adapt :/ ...wow I'm really not sure if I should be posting this but I guess that most players at RIO play higher so I can tell that strat and maybe help 1 or 2 micro players out.
