Default Re: River decision in a big pot

2 limpers, this is a definite raise, 3 its closer. It also depends on how the blinds play.

Actually, HEPFAP recomends a fold in MP after 1 limper, if you expect a couple more after you. This is only marginally better, as in multiway pots position becomes less important.
As played call and expect to lose. "You can't make money in limit hold'em by making huge laydowns on the river".

Flop check is correct IMO -- you're unlikely to win u/i, the majority will call the flop, and you don't want to make the pot big giving them proper odds whem drawing to 1 pair yourself.

HFAP was written for a different time and a different game texture. Raising here preflop is a must in almost all live games.

Call the river and hate it.
