Busted,

You are making a valiant effort at defending your position, and I appreciate that. I also very much appreciate that you are citing texts.

But I'm going to ask you to step back and look at the question differently:

In considering raising here, we have two considerations: first, what are equity is in the current pot; second, how our equity is likely to change if we raise.

So, answer these two questions:

1. What is our equity likely to be? Do we have value in a raise?

2. How do we improve our equity by raising? Do we want the opponents behind us to call or fold?
