Game: No-Limit Hold'em | Format: Cash Game | Blinds/Antes: 1/2, no ante | Effective Stacks: 100 bb | Hero Position: BB | Pot Size: 12 bb The flop was A♠ K♦ 4♣ and checked through. The turn is the 8♥. Equilibrium suggests you should 'probe' (bet out of position) at 50%, but the population typically only does so at 25%. What does this imply about the IP player's checking range?

1. The IP player will fold less often to a turn bet.
2. It is impossible to probe correctly without a solver.
3. The IP checking range is capped and over-protected.
4. The IP checking range is stronger than equilibrium.
