A call says 'I have a huge hand' too. Any smart opponent isn't putting in another dime unless he improves - unless he has AK and puts villain on AQ. Still, that's a mighty thin river vb if he does make it - if opponent is nitty.

Well it's going to be hard to stack a smart opponent here without a sick cooler regardless. I just think in general, a call here with a boat lets the check-raiser make a bigger mistake than shoving will.

How often is a Villain in this hand check-raising a made hand just to shut down when he's called? Sounds like Villain isn't too smart.
