    Default Raising - Keep going or stop?

    I paused at a point in this hand to decide if I should keep re-raising or not. (At the point I will identify, the rake was already maxed out.)

    If either of the players could do this with a set or 2 pair then you need to raise. If they are both real solid players then the only thing you have to worry about is the
    After reading the results if tomroper is known to be an idiot, I'd have kept raising.

    the turn is iffy, because he could be freerolling against you for the flush. And you really don't want to chase the guy without the straight out.

    I think the key to this is the rake. If the rake wasn't maxed then just call it down. Since the rake was maxed then re raise until that little dumb heart hit the board.

    I like a raise on the turn because the player immediately after you raised, so you're not gonna lose anyone with a raise. In Molloy's spot, I'd call, but in your spot, I'm raising to cap.

    I'd bet out the river because of 2 of those hearts on the board. The and the are on the board, not saying that a Q, J, or T hi flush is impossible, but the possibility of a flush lowers with both of these hearts on the board.
