Default Re: .25/50 Stars - River raise or call?

Well, the fact that nobody bet on the turn tells me that nobody has a jack for a potential full house. Players looove to slowplay a jack on the turn, but by the turn they would've bet it. That goes also for slowplayed hands like 22, AA. 55, I don't know, but really? So we have the second nuts here and extremely likely the best hand.

Now the question is, how to extract most value... if you call, you get the bet from the small blind almost everytime, but if you raise small blind might fold. If the action had been check, bet, fold, Hero? it would be kind of hard decision, because you might raise both out and gain nothing.

However, since BB raised, it's almost sure BB is gonna call your raise and BB might even cap it. And SB might even call your raise. So yeah, raise!
