Please help settle this arguement. I just sat down at the table and am wondering about river raise.

What are you wondering about...you likely have the best hand and you like money right?

Did you mean to include some river action in your post?

I guess you could have check called the flop and bet the turn intending to 3-bet if you somehow knew the 9 would come...but that seems a bit impractical.

So you think it's a clear-cut bet on the river? And what happens if he reraises me?

[Jinx]

the only reason you wouldn't bet that river was so you could checkraise it. Bet/call.

easy river bet, call a raise

I 3 bet the flop as well, unless hes the type that will cap for a free card, in which case I call flop and donk turn.

Thanks guys-I won the arguement against my newbish brother. I raised, he reraised, I called. Ended up having 46.

You raised or you bet...? unless you are leaving out some of the action the first person to put money in the pot on a given street is said to "bet." You can only "raise" after soemone else has already bet. You know this right?

Yeah I do. I bet the river.

what about a flop 3-bet?

bet/call. I would also 3bet the flop.
