Re: Raising the river
[ QUOTE ]
If I'd just figure out for sure whether they'd call, I could either get a lot more value from marginal hands or steal a lot more pots... [/ QUOTE ] Raise. They will call. You are missing a lot of value.

Re: Raising the river
Hand 2:
He is a LAG, he likes to bluff and push people out of pots. He is doing exactly this on hand 2. Because the limper made a weak bet on the flop he didn't give him credit for the trips, nor he did for you either, since you just called. And then he just continued pushing. But since trips are not really that strong hand I would propably stop slowing it on the turn since c/c might lead you to worry too much (as it did, you rivered a boat yet you are still worrying about if you should call). You are certainly ahead on the river and a I'd say its an easy call.

Re: Raising the river
Moving up to 1/2 and trying to make it to 2/4, I've become convinced that the difference between the moderate/break-even players in the mid-stakes games and the solid winners is a willing to raise and bet the river for value with marginal holdings. I suck at it so I continue to struggle with getting full value from the LAGs and LAPs who will call down light when they suspect you've been stealing more then your share.
