If everyone is checking, no need to toss your hand, regardless of how convinced you are that it is trash. It also shows that, just because you are using something like the Fish System, you should always stick with some of the basics of poker strategy, such as to show strength when others show weakness; especially if you are making a semi-bluff, and you have something that could hold up if called.  In the end, the system held up. Although the tester ended up with only $64 when at one point he had $103, he did profit (remember that he started at $0.)
