Check-raising OOP on the turn after betting flop
I was reading NLH for advanced players by Matthew Janda and was confused by one example.
Hero: HJ open with 88
Villain: BTN call
Flop: Qh8h5d
Here, he c-bets OOP on the flop and then checks the turn, hoping to check-raise if villain bets. Why do we check-raise the turn instead of continuing to bet with 88?

It's frivolous because we shouldn't be check raising every card and it depends on villains tendencies and player type anyway. There are some folks that automatically bet when checked to (floating) and versus these folks when we Cbet a high frequency otf our range will sometimes find it difficult to both barrel and check call ott. So in the cases where we can win the pot by check raising versus these wide range floaters we want to have some strong hands in our xr range as well as bluffs when we do so.

Thanks for the info
Depends on the turn card, I guess. Bottom line, he flopped a set, so the goal should be to get all his chips in.
