Hey you - learn from my mistakes

FWIW - many tens in microlimits aren't folding if you raise, either.

True But they are giving you money by calling a raise so you want them to call.

P.S when i read it I said call...so that shows how much I know

The pot's already big. You *never* want them to call here [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

You want to improve your chances to win this pot and your best chance is to get it headsup against the guy who thought he could beat aces preflop (you're definitely dominating him) rather than the guy who improved on the flop (and has already provided dead money) and hangs around giving you another battery of cards to dodge. Moreover, the other player is going to pay you the same if you raise as the cold-caller if you lie low, so why accept the increased risk? And if he calls the raise, that's more money when he fails to outdraw you on all streets.
