Re: Common Party $3-$6 Situation

I put him on a strong hand or a weak hand. Why raise the turn ?

Because the majority of the time (65 percent at least) he will have a weak hand and won't bet it on the river.
His two most likely hands are a bare, unimproved Ace and a pocket underpair. He may still have hopes of drawing out on you, which is why you raise here, since he may well call. If you just call and he checks the river he'll never call you with an Ace-high that hasn't improved, which he'll hold maybe 20 percent of the time.*
