I know that my opponent's most likely action postflop is calling in this game, and I know that by raising preflop, I make it more mathematically correct for them to do what they love: call.


You get 3 to 1 on their pre-flop call and most likely less on the post flop ation. They will call, as you've said, regardless. The fact that they are calling correctly doesn't impact your return in the slightest. You will be winning the same number of hands and losing the same number of hands. When you lose, you lose an extra BB when you win, you win an additional 1.5. You will still win 4/5 times (or whatever) so over the 5 hands you net an additional 1BB per hand. Explain to me how you make more money by not raisig (getting 3 to 1 again) because they are calling incorrectly postlfop.
