Default Re: RiverRaisewith Bottom 2pair?

I disagree with about everyone here.

I think the turn is almost an auto-raise. We can't give the sb much credit for much here.

I think it is huge mistake to just call the turn and give him free draws to his outs on a drawish board. I want to make him pay. If you can't raise here, he wins the % of times he gets you to fold in this situation and he with % of time he outdraws you. Also, with a raise, you can get him to possibly fold and under pair.

I really love to play a player who will not raise me with a pair in situations like this because I am going to be firing a lot of flop/turns with nothing and I like to get free draws when an opponent is ahead.

The 3-bet absolutely sucks but I would call. When we hit the 2-pair on the river I would certainly give consideration to raising depending on the opponent.
