Re: Is it possible for me to pick an interesting hand to post?

What's the reason for raising the turn and checking through the river again? I still don't think I've read a good explanation when it's proper to be doing that.

In this hand...
If hero calls the turn, then calls the river, he puts 2 BB in, right?
If hero raises the turn, and checks the river, he also puts 2 BBs in.
But, the latter has folding equity vs the bettor, AND lets hero push out a player behind him. (and, of course opens to a 3-bet... but a 3-bet = we're dead/close to it normally anyway)
FWIW, Im not giving an opinion on the raise, just what it does in this situation.
