Check back
What it means
Checking after your opponent has checked, so the street ends with no bets. The player who acts last does it. It is used to see a free card or reach showdown cheaply, but with a strong hand on the river it gives up value.
Example
On the river the BB checks and you, on the BTN, check back with second pair: you reach showdown for free. With the nut flush, checking back would win you nothing extra.
