I see no motivation to raise the river.

Bad preflop call by CO, good action in making him pay for his draw.
but when the club hits the river, i'm just calling, not raising. you got rivered, thats life. |

I see no motivation to raise the river. [/ QUOTE ] I'm in the middle of reading a bunch about poker -- I'm partway through reading HEPFAP and I've been reading here for a few weeks before I started posting. And so I'm getting a lot of input and information that I'm still trying to integrate into my poker game and I think what I got mentally caught up on into here is the idea of "instead of calling, raise or fold". I was thinking that folding was too timid at that point, so I raised. Looking at the hand, his limping on the turn coupled with coming out betting and then 3-betting on the river should've told me he'd made his flush. Should I have just called and hoped he was bluffing about the flush or had made a lower straight? |

This generally applies when there are more cards to come. With all the heavy beating that ocurred this opponent still bets into you on the river, indicating they are not afraid. I see no reason to raise and expose youself to the 3-bet when you are up against a flush. Do you think you get called by a worse hand more than half the time you raise? |
