Waiting until the river to raise

[kiddo]

Raising turn in this hand is a big misstake against a TAG. You are then raising him on only street where he easily can get away from his worse hand, it makes no sense.

When you flop a superstrong hand like this HU with position u got 2 basic options.

1) Play it fast and hope he will think u are on a steal/draw and call down with worse hand.

2) Call flop, turn and raise river, hoping he bet a worse pair or bluff all way.

Raising turn should be saved for bluffy LAGs that always call if they already put in a bet on turn, and when flop is superdrawish and u think they will call your turnraise since they are betting their draw (and u want to see turn before raising since it could kill your hand).

Since u missclicked and called preflop its easier to play it fast on flop. If u raised preflop he will think A is yours. Its also better to play it fast when flop is drawish.

In this actual hand I think u can just mix it up, but play it faster a little more often (since u slowplayed him preflop) but not every time since there are no draws he can put you on so its easier for him to fold.

U should raise a lot on this spot preflop as long as u dont see him limp with monsters and fold others. A limp is normally weak and if flop comes with high cards u want to put the pressure on him with your preflopraise. Also, people bluff less if u raise preflop, which in a way is bad by them cause pot is bigger so they actually should bluff more if they knew u were raising really light from BB.
