Re: $25 NL - Hit set on river, should I bother raising here?

One thing I've learned is not to get into a pissing match when one card can beat you (any 4).
Plus with the flush out it makes a good part of his range that beats you, and also makes it less likely a TP hand will call a raise. So raising gets more money from villain into the pot when he's got better hand than you.
Nice river. I just call.

I didn't notice the straight possibility. That changes my answer a bit.
However, I don't think you should be too worried about a straight being in there that much. We have a limited read against a player that is loose, but not THAT loose. Having said that, I don't think a 4 is a very big part of his range.
