River raise w/AK UI
 

Another 2+2er (who I jokingly call a lag) said this hand was puke-o-liscious. I rarely make plays like this, but I've been experimenting with them more lately.

PFR is 70/10/1.2, SB is good 2+2er (not the aforementioned one), the others are typical 10/20 goofs.

PFR = CO? I don't mind your play, but why not just bet the turn and try for a free showdown?

Yes, PFR = CO.

My thought was there's a good chance MP might be calling down w/a shitty pair which he would call down to a turn and river bet, but fold for 2 cold.

and why can I say shitty but not [censored]?

No one wants to berate me for this one?

I'm not at your level, but what exactly are you representing on the river, where you wouldn't have bet the turn? 22?

Who cares, posting responses to hands and having others comment on your response makes you a better player as it forces you to think through your advice.

I'm representing whatever the 3rd guy won't call 2 cold w/. Basically I think I'm ahead of the donk better, but want the other guy to fold a better hand.

The CO's PFR is only 10%. That's not that high, especially considering he raised after a limper. And his aggression is 1.2, so it's not like he's extremely aggressive post flop. I don't think you have him beat very often. You might fold MP's pair of 5's, but I don't think the chances of that happening and you beating CO is high enough to warrant a raise here.

I don't like it. I'm too tired to do any math for it, but I think you're probably behind CO far too much for this to work.

My first guess is he's on 88-99 or A7s. Something like that.

There's also a good chance MP was just on a draw he will fold either way.
