Re: To speak or not to speak, that is the question

During the play of a hand, I believe it is a player's responsibility to protect his hand. I also believe it is his responsibility to protect his rights. Many may disagree. I would imagine it's a matter of opinion.

The problem I see with this is that the player involved in the hand can not always speak up to protect his rights.
ExampleL years ago I was playing in a small tournament. I raise before the flop and get headsup with a player who is behind me. On the flop I miss but I make a continuation bet. She calls me. The yurn comes and I bet out again. She now makes an extrememly blatant string raise. The dealer says nothing and no other player says a word.
What can I do here? well I can ignore the fact that she strung raised and fold my cards. Or I can bring to the dealers attention that she sring raised. But if I do that I am telling her that I don;t think my hand is any good here and that information may hurt me on the river.
