When we think we can't get 3 streets of value and our top pair is no longer top pair on the turn is it better to check behind to include his bluffs on our river value?, obv I will bet the river if he checks to me

Hey ChangNoi77,

Preflop is fine.

At higher limits we just barrel turn here for value because opponent expects us to have a high bluff frequency on this overcard turn. At these limits checking back is good because it's hard to extract value and we are likely no longer extracting value on turn and river.

Turn check is fine, river call is good.

If villain has called IP instead, is checking still best?

Exactly the same principle applies except our expectation is a little lower due to the inherent difficulties of OOP play.
