Why don't you raise the river here?

if the guy can beat top pair (maybe A8 or a set), it will give him another chance to raise.

Is that PP? And is that 25 or 50 NL?

If it's a secret I understand.

Would you be so kind as to post a couple more hand historys?

$50 nl

Reverse domination is one reason not to raise.

you know how old this thread is? lol

What I love about that hand is that you are seated 2 positions forward from a huge pile-o-chips
