Re: Pocket Sticks and scary board
"If you are sure he has a straight you definitely should not reraise the turn. A player that called for a gutshot on that flop isn't going to fold to a reraise once he hits his straight."
A case can be made for raising based on the information here. Agreed that the opponent isn't going to fold to a reraise with his staight but if you are certain he will not three-bet *and* you have decided to call the river anyway (as was done above), then raising may be the best option. You could get an extra bet in when you fill up (as he may very well just check and call the river when the board pairs had you not reraised) yet its still the same 2 bets when you dont fill.
