Raising sure beats calling....an example

[AceHigh]

I don't think it's a big mistake to fold/call/raise in this situation. You have close to the pot odds for calling.

In this situation, I would be more likely to raise the flop with a hand with some showdown value. You are not sure you can even beat a bluff. Some opponents might call on the river with a flush draw A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] x [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] after you check the turn.

True. As it turned out I did get lucky on the river.
