Default Re: Raise 2pr for value on 4-str8 board

Ignoring the rest of the hand (although I think we could debate pretty much every decision) and focusing on the river, it's a very thin value raise if it's one at all. I don't doubt that your aces up are good a very significant percentage of the time, but for the raise to be worthwhile you not only have to be good, but also have to be called by a worse hand. In what would then be a 6 BB pot, is that going to happen often enough? With such an obvious straight showing?

I think we have enough hand to call, certainly, but I'm just not sold on a raise (and how retarded does it look to the rest of the table if you raise & fold to a 3bet here?).
