Re: River Decision in $109r

why arent you raising him preflop? we've almost always got the best hand and i doubt he'll complete-reraise bluff us, why not charge him and maybe take it down without a fight?

we should be raising this sometimes- i prob raise check almost 50/50. yes, we should for value, it is almost always ahead of his limping range unless he's passive...

do we stand to make more postflop when we hit an ace because he won't put us on one? seems like a more likely outcome is him stealing the pot, or us winning the same size pot after the flop (but letting him see 3 cards to catch us).

there is some deception to not raising preflop; definitely. if two players are decent.. there is definitely a bluffy aspect to a-high dry boards in bvb battles short stacked in tournaments. however, the chance that he limp-reraises us with these stacks is something of a moderate fear, and soemthing we probably can't call even if we think he's doing it light.
