NL25 AQ river decision
 

Do you raise this river? I was about to, but then I thought, what is he going to call me with here that isn't splitting?

What about the turn play? The two flush worried me a bit, but I think it's more likely he's leading into 4 players on the flop with a weaker ace, rather than a flush draw.

easy easy raise

the small chance that he has a heart or lowly 6 and will make a crying call easily outdoes the more you pay in rake.

He better not have 66 [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Yuck, raise that river. He could have a lone 6 or worse.

What's with the turn check? Giving free cards on draw heavy boards sucks. And raise the river. You might just be splitting, but over the long run it'll be a profitable situation.
