A friend who was watching said that I should definately have raised. He may have been right, but I wanted to hear the forums thoughts.

Easy raise on the river, why do you think you're behind exactly?

you should raise the river...since two players have already pretty much said "i don't have a flush" you are getting a nice overlay on the raise and can cover the times when SB beats you...

I'm confused. This should be an automatic raise, especially given the preflop action.

I just needed be told to raise a so I don't puss out and call next time I'm in a similar situation

More important than being told is to do the reasoning yourself. Answer the previously posted question of why you think you are behind. If you don't think you are behind, then you must be ahead, making for an easy raise.

I am as weak-tight as they come and this is an easy raise.
