call or raise this river?

[hemstock]

Are you all folding if BB 3 bets?

I raised since it was such late position I wanted to fold out as many as possible and present hi pair - is this wrong?

if we're raised on the river? yeah, unless we have some reason to think he's a lunatic.

I would probably call the flop check raise and then raise his turn bet. I would definitely bet the river.

PF: If I thought no one would 3bet it behind my second call then I'd call it

Flop: I don't think you need to raise the flop if it means the others are going to slow down on the big bet streets. Your hand is strong and is very likely to be the best on the end. I'd check with plans of raising on the turn.

River: I'd raise the river. I think that is a weird way to play a flush is thats what the BB has. Anything else and you win. Raise.

1) seems very unlikely. I'm not giving credit for a higher straight. Its a possibility and they deserve my money if they took such a random route of betting and drawing to runner runner to make the big straight.

JQ would seem like the only draw that makes any sense but I think it would come alive on the turn

2) I think the raise will be for value. I think the others are showing pairs or two pairs

Why should The hero only call preflop, CO with 44? IMO it's a pretty easy raise from CO with pocket 44 on a normal table If you start the action... you have position and likely the best hand, You can win this if everyone folds... Or if people call and a lot of overacrds come on the flop and there is action it's an easy fold...
