Default Re: Is Raising on the River with nutflush on paired board -EV

1) Not to defend the call, but I was on the button and EP-Tight was an easy read. If he had AK he would have bet. The loose player could have anything and I didnt mind betting for him.
2) Agree, he was loose which could have been AK or KQ. Either way I was beat and shut down.
3) Iffy... would have worked if he had 6's and not a set of 5's
4) I knew I was still beat at the point, and figured he would call, thus no bet.
5) And that is my question. Is raising here -EV?

This situation comes up all the time, in cash and tourney's and it got me thinking in medium events or cash games against solid (not fish, not pro) players raising here worthwhile.

I could care less that I lost the hand, but am troubled by my raise. Same situation happens in the future, I will raise again, but when I raise, is it -EV?

hah... thanks guys

All the hands that beat you aren't played in a way that makes sense by villain at all, VERY VERY VERY easy shove. Also back door flush very hard to detect the way the hand played, so shove here looks a lot like a bluff and I wouldn't be surprised if hero calls and shows some pairs and alot of K hands.

Stop being so [censored] results oriented. This is one of the easiest [censored] value raises ever. STOP BEING RESULTS ORIENTED.

Does that make it easier to understand?
