    Why not raise if you know you have him beat?

    I'll do this with paint now and again in sng's, if I hit a K or Q on the flop or sometihng. Especially in turbo's people can bluff away their chips easily.

    Nothing you beat that he raised with is calling. On the turn, he's usually re-raising or folding. If you call, he'll almost always bet the river, but the stacks are too deep for him to shove. After he bets the river, he can shove a raise with any 2 because the weakness we've displayed to induce his betting can come back to bite us in the ass getting knocked off what could very well be the best hand or lead in us into a hi-variance call. Re-shove the river and you're almost never getting called by a worse hand.

    hes agressive to the point that if i bet the flop im probably getting check raised, and could have air betting 2 streets, so this was the best play against him imo.

    also this keeps the pot the smallest, which is good with this hand imo

    But if you already know he's a loose player and you ARE POSITIVE you have the best hand, you might as well raise after the river. No harm in that.

    to be honest, I let the aggresive people bet all the time. Im in a STT right now and 2 are very LAG.. in the last 10 dealt hands, both that I played I let them bet the whole time. I didnt have nuts, but good hands (tp/tk and 2pair) much better that anything they've showed... I was chuckling as I thought of this thread

    We're never POSITIVE... you should see ta's other thread... just call and end it with what's there (unless you're nut), the one time you bet you just know they're going to have sucked something.
