Re: 6max, hows this turn play?
This situation is really quite simple. We raise if...
1) He will fold a better hand. Keep in mind that he doesn't have to fold anywere near 100% of the time to make it correct.
2) He will fold a hand that he shouldn't if he knew what we held. For example if he would fold a flush draw to a turn raise (not going to happen but that is an example here) then it begins to make more sense.
3) It is for value. Well it wasn't for value in this case since we checked behind on the river.
4) He will give up on a bricked river if he was bluffing or semi-bluffing the whole way. This is a bad assumption to make against a typical player. When in doubt, assume that default players will bluff too much. So against better players you have to get that raise in on the turn. Against poor players who will bet busted draws everytime, you can just call them down.
