Folding when checked to in position is a severe mistake that surrenders the pot without reason. Checking back costs zero chips and allows us to realize our equity on the river. **Position:** Having position gives us the luxury of closing the action. When BB checks, checking behind guarantees we see the river for free and keeps our ace-high live to catch an Ace or showdown against missed broadway floats. **Plan:** While the flush-completing Six doesn't help our hand and betting again would be suicidal without a spade, checking behind lets us evaluate the river cleanly. If BB leads on the river, we can fold then; if it goes check-check, we occasionally win at showdown. --- > **Takeaway:** Never surrender the pot in position when you can take a free card.
Note: Folding facing a check surrenders all equity for free; checking behind costs nothing and guarantees a river card.
