EXACTLY!

So given your read above, if you are SB and have 22/66 and pokerbob raises this river you...call?

I don't like folding because:
22 = 3
66 = 3
99 = 3
J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] T [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] = 1
7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] = 1
Even discounting the non-set hands quite a bit it's still enough that getting 21.5:1 (that's 4.4%) it's a call.

The raise only needs to get a fold 4% of the time to be +EV.

The metagame benefits of a play like this have to be worth at least a couple of BB. Would you ever fold to one of hero's raises if you saw him pull a stunt like this?

I'm still calling, because i have a set in a huge [censored] pot

raising this river is really bad.
