Default Re: How often should I reraise the river with a monster, but not the nuts?

I'm a bit biased because I saw the results as I was scrolling through the thread, but I would generally say that you have to err on the side of putting one or two more raises than you think you should because there's only one combo of 55 that beats you and so many combos of ridiculous hands that could be played like this. I'd expect to see hands like JJ, J5, 66, Q5, 65, even A5 and AA sometimes and once in a while something more outrageous. Even though you need to discount each of these hands and some of them like A5 and AA quite a bit once the fifth bet goes in on the river, I think you usually have at least one more raise against anybody who's not pretty good.

Anyway, as already mentioned, it doesn't really matter because it comes up so rarely.
