Are you good enough to fold to a 3 bet? Because that's what you need to be if you want to raise this river.

Fold to a 3 bet? No way...calling seems obvious at that point? am I missing something?

Im new to fullt able and posting before reading any other responses, but Im raising the river without even thinking about it and probably calling a 3-bet.

I don't really get what the flop raise accomplishes. What were you planning to do if he checked the turn to you?

Isnt it a free card play? I almost always do that play with over cards or any type of draw.

I would have raised the river, called a 3-bet.

The only thing that would concern me is that since he is LP, and he's betting into me(the pre-flop raiser). I would be concerned about a set. I would have played a set this way hoping to get another raise from you on the turn.

this is a bad way to play poker

I still think that people in this thread are just blindly firing on this river, if you get 3bet are you ever winning? how often does this type of player get tricky with the Q? and what kind of hand range does he have when he leads back into you on the turn, and fires again on the river .. how do those hands react to the river raise? there is more to this than I have the 2nd nuts, let me throw in a ton of bets, if he has the nuts so be it.

Check.

I'm getting 8:1 if I call, and I figured if I raised I might lose the SB and get a free card in the process.

I think raising is better than calling, so I raised.

How big does the pot have to be before you want to raise this flop?
