Re: Raising the river
hand 2 sure looks exactly like qq in donkese and if u are ahead here this guy would have to be just braindead to call a river raise w/o a boat unless u have been blowing him off hands with pot bets in which case i would insta-jam...that being said, no way on earth i am raising river on hand 2, no way i am folding to this idiot either. a case could be made for raising hand 1, but only b/c this guy is such a donk he MAY pay it off.
as for raising the river as a bluff...this is a grand tactic to employ against known multi-tablers and unimaginative TAGS when they fire out textbook blocking bets...i do this with missed draws etc. u are giving up free money if u are not occassionally doing this against mtters, plus metagame considerations. per this line, i fired a "blocking bet" into a thinking aggro opponent tonight when i rivered broadway only to have him push 55...lol it was great.
