Raise or going for the overcall? I wasn't really sure here, will the flop and turn bettor really call here? Havn't got any reads.

Forgot, player 1 actually donks the river, so call or raise?

I would raise. Then you will earn at least one extra bet (assuming the guy who bets call) and if you get real lucky maybe one of the other player calls two bets cold. I don't think both the players behind you will call if you call. I'm sure raisng here will earn more money in the long run (I don't have any math or good theory to back it up with though [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] )
