Default Re: 2 Hands Not Yet Simple To ME

Waiting is almost certainly better.

It's close and I don't think either one is substantially better.

Waiting

- squeezes out an extra BB or so most of the time
- costs you the pot a tiny percentage of the time

Raising

- squeezes out an extra BB or so some of the time
- costs you an extra BB or so some of the time
- sets you up to win lots of extra bets once in a while
- costs you the pot never

I like raising.

Maybe as a bonus you could commit on how different reads my affect the play here.

Calling stations? Raise. Likes to go to war on the flop and slows down on big streets? Raise. Betting out obvious sign that he has no hand and is looking to fold? Wait. Betting out obvious sign that he currently has you beat? Raise (and take free card on turn.) Does your recent history with flop bettor lead him to believe that this could be a pissing match? Raise. Will he fold AA on the river if you cap every street? Raise and submit hand as an article to the 2+2 Internet Magazine.
