Calling Station hand

[As Zehn]

Since you were willing to call the turn and the river without improving, why not raise the turn?

I think an arguement can be made to play this hand completely differently.

I think one could argue that I should have raised preflop.

I think one could argue that I should have raised the turn. (My personal favorite to find out where I was.)

But the river card puts a straight on the board along with the full house potential, so I probably would have checked behind on the river with that board.

In the end, I think I end up with the same amount of bets in the pot.

I don't think he calls my bet on the river with anything I can beat and I open myself up to the check raise on the river.

I agree with your pf call and flop check. Since you know there will be no low after the turn card, I would raise. If he's filled a boat you will be re-raised. If he has two pair you might scare him off not affording him the opportunity to fill. If on a flush draw he won't leave but you will know if he hits on the river.

I agree that in the end it will most likely be the same amount of chips, but if he folds better in your stack than his.
