Default 88 on the button

Potty 2/4

At work so no hand history. SB~25/12-ish over a small sample.

2 limpers to me i raise 8h8s on the button. SB calls, BB calls, limpers call.

5 to the flop:

8 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]10 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

EP limper bets, i raise, SB 3bets, limpers fold, i cap. sb calls.

Turn: 2 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

sb bets, i call.

River: 7 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

sb bets, i raise intending to fold to a 3 bet.

I don't know if I'd fold to a 3-bet on the river.

I'd say it's at least a call.

I'd likely raise the turn, call if 3-bet, call a river bet U/I, raise if improved (obviously).

Given that hero called the turn, is there anything wrong with simply calling the river, rather than raising? If 3-bet, it looks to me hero almost has to fold (is sb seriously 3-betting anything we beat?), but I'd likely call (though I'm not sure I raise the river U/I so the situation wouldn't even come up if I take my call down line).

I think this river strategy ties in nicely with your loc.

why raise the river and not the turn?

if were ahead, raising the turn charges draws, but then again we have to call a 3-bet because we most likely have outs if were behind, id probly end up calling a 3-bet here too, but i dont really see what dude could be 3-betting that we beat on the river

i dont know, id raise the turn, but id like to hear your reasoning behind waiting till the river, maybe you think he folds a king on the turn?

You would have to be 94% sure you were beaten to fold on the river.

I raise the turn.

on the turn i would have to call a 3 bet. on the river i won't. i like the idea of raising the turn from the perspective that if i am behind i do have outs to improve and therefore i have some "suck out" equity. raising the river may be putting in more money than i have to with a dead hand, but i can fold to a 3 bet at that point. also river raises can scare better hands into only calling at times. also, i may actually have fold equity on the river if he put me on a single club initially seeing as how i slowed down after capping the flop, but then change his read because a river raise may smell like he has been slowrolled by a monster. so i chose to raise/fold because i think i am ahead often enough to get that extra bet in, i think my chances of folding a better hand may slightly exist, and primarily the scary board may deter a 3 bet from all but hands by which i am 100% beaten. i don't know if i liked it so thats why i posted it. i would like to hear some more thoughts.
