Re: Is this a good river raise?
 

all,

I don't think the river card changes villain's hand much. Given the read I like a turn raise tho, and that's probably why the river doesn't make much sense. However, I don't think the river raise is all that bad. He could have a worse two pair here like A9, Q9 a lot.

Re: Is this a good river raise?
 

it changes it at least a little because people often play as if you hold AK. don't be surprised to see T9 or Q9 check call this river.

as played, you have to fold to the 3-bet, and it is really easy. you can so easily have AK/KQ/KK, and he still 3-bets something other than the nuts? no, he doesn't.
