A river decision
2008-08-07

The somewhat unusual situation has arised where the cut-off is first to act and limps. The button and small blind both fold, and you check.

The flop is J 5 2. You bet $3 and get called.

On the turn, the K comes. Both of you check.

The river is the 7. You check, and your opponent bets $5.

You know each other fairly well, and you have a tell on your opponent, so you're fairly but not completely sure that you're ahead, so you won't fold. Will you call or raise?





Call (correct)
You can be very, very sure that you're ahead without making it correct to raise here. You're almost guaranteed to get called only when you're ahead, and you can't be perfectly sure as long as you haven't seen the cards.

Raise
You can be very, very sure that you're ahead without making it correct to raise here. You're almost guaranteed to get called only when you're ahead, and you can't be perfectly sure as long as you haven't seen the cards.
