Default Re: Induce a bluff or take the pot down now??

[ QUOTE ]
Given your assumptions, you should raise the turn.
Villain will improve to the best hand 6/44 of the time.

If you pick up the pot now, you are gaining 5.16BB. However, if you wait until the river, you will still have the best hand 38/44 of the time, at which point you will win 6.16BB, but when Villain improves, you will have cost yourself an additional 2 BB.

Therefore, either take 5.16BB now, or wait to get:
(38/44)6.16BB-(6/44)2BB = 5.05BB.

Therefore, you should raise right now to maximize your EV.

You also don't take into account the extra BB or two that you will win should you actually win the pot on the river.
