Bad river raise from me?
 

No reads on villian. Is this river raise horrible?

looks good to me. Calling would be bad.

Please don't include results. If you can edit them out, do it.

This raise looks reasonable, but I don't think it's going to be a huge EV difference whether you call or raise, unless you know Villain would check/raise the nuts here.

Really, the only hands that beat hero here seem very unlikely the way the hand played out. I think the thougher choice would be whether to call a 3-bet or cap if that situation arose.

i like the river raise, you will get paid off by any K, any Q, and all A's...

I ask because I was wondering how many times villian has the better full house here.

Not often. You are going to hear from the other hands that could of filled on this river to beat you on an earlier street (AQ/AT/AJ/AA/QQ).

Then, of course, there are the times when Villain is waiting for the turn to raise 2-pair and runs into the 4-straight. Capping would be major spewing - the river raise I like, but not overwhelmingly.
