ozi,

when i first read this hand, i thought that we needed to put in a raise somewhere. i don't like raising the flop because of his fit-or-foldness. i don't like raising the turn because getting 3bet really sucks. so i thought this might be a good spot to pop the river (usually gets an extra bet in when we're ahead, sometimes saves a bet when villain is too scared to 3bet a better hand). but yeah, that river doesn't improve our hand and it didn't stop villain from betting. this means we're ahead less often, which makes raising less attractive.

if you do raise the river, can you fold when 3bet? cuz i don't like r/f lines in general, but calling the 3bet seems so stupid (and now we're putting 4 big bets in anyway, so we should have just raised the turn). then you end up like i did in that stupid KQ hand from my microposter session and babar and buzz are like "lol wtf raise the turn".

ok so previewing my post is like tl;dr so i'm not proofing or editing. hope it makes sense, mate.
