Default Re: Ace high on a ragged board in position

I might be missing something, but that turn raise (I'm assuming for a free showdown) just seems bad. Aggro player is likely firing the river as well the way this hand played out, so let him get to showdown with you cheaply. However, I'm one of the biggest critics of the raise turn/free showdown moves on the board, so see what others say on this.

The way you played it I'd raise the river, but still feel like I'd have to call a 3-bet given the bloated size of this pot and our opponent. The risk of the 3-bet makes it somewhat more likely I just call, but I probably raise/call in the heat of the moment.

Edit: Ironically, I did use a raise turn for free showdown in the 88 hand I posted a little earlier tonight. Not quite the same though since it folded out a 3rd button player and gave me position on the river.
