Default Re: 57s. Why am I a LAG?

What I can't believe is that this many people folded. Because of this sad fact, you need a slightly better draw to reraise on the flop. But only slightly. Your equity on the reraise is 0.9, so it's only a tiny error. If you had so much as one other caller, it would be sound. Basically the rule is that you need 2 callers with a 9-13 outer, but you are actually ahead with more than 13 outs [eg, if your straight draw was openended or if you had A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]].

Ignore advice to raise on the river. A TAG is not betting into you with less than a flush. Most flushes beat you. You still have to call, but a raise is silly. He'd have to have a worse hand roughly 2/3 of the time, and that just isn't true.

(I can't believe people would call your flop 3-bet wrong but tell you to raise the river. The former is a very minor error. The latter is preposterous.)
