Check or fold?

[PAULM03]

Hope this isn't a stupid question Say you're big blind and are dealt a poor hand say ''''''&'''££££&£££££ but everyone either folds or flat calls back round to you, is it better to just fold or check and see the flop seeing as your chips are already in? What are peoples opinions on the right way to use 'check' in general? I get the feeling it can be powerful when used correctly but has the potential to be overused.

Re: Check or fold? Why would you fold? They're letting you see the flop for free. If you're holding trips after the flop you're not going to fold are you? So why throw it away??
