Default Re: When to raise for a free showdown

My thought: It's not really a "free showdown". It can be even more expensive if you get bet on the river. So it is nothing more than a semi-bluff turn raise. I think it's effective when you charge a hand that you suspect is on a draw or generally when you think your hand can win at SD but you can charge 1 more bet and you have the extra value of folding equity or making a hand as in any semi-bluff.
