Hand to Talk About

SO do you now agree not raising the river is a bad play?

Actually, you probably want to raise the turn. That way, if he three bets you and you are in fact behind, you still have outs to draw to. On the river, calling a three bet will cost you a lot more money. You should only smooth call the turn if you are dealing with an escape artist who will pay you off on the river. But even then, you should probably be raising since there are likely more hands he will pay you off with than hands he will escape with.
