    Default Raise this river?

    Villain is TAG..
    Do you raise this river or not and why?
    Also if you raise and are reraised all-in do you call?

    If someone posts "what do we know about villain?" my auto-response is.. what do you want to know about villain?

    Well, you checked behind on the turn to induce the bluff right? What was your plan if he rivered a diamond or 6/8/T.

    He could have A9/99... but probably would have bet the turn. He could have A5/A7/55/77, but probably would have re-raised preflop with diamonds out. With AK, he would have done either or both.

    The only other hand that beats you is 68. You both have 80-100 behind. I am *a little* concerned that if you raise the river, you will get reraised by a better hand... ah, you can't be afraid of 68 or a boat here. Tags don't call raises pre-flop with 68, do they?

    I would raise $50 or so, and gladly call re-raises. Am I crazy? I think he has a weaker ace, but possibly 55 or 77, or possibly 2 diamonds and when the 2nd A falls disbelives you.

    In 6-max TAGs do call with 68s. Now that im looking at this more and more I am inclined to just call.. espically with the 68 threat which i didnt even see.

    I think a reraise to $35 or $40 is good if you think you have him beat and you want to get some more out of him if possible.

    Or you can go the safe route and call - after all he bet 3/4 on the flop and the river. He have been setting you up on the turn but you didn't bite. AK is a potential holding for him.

    If I was in this hand realtime, I'd raise and fold to a reraise.

    Bet the turn. As played, call the river as he won't often call with a worse hand, and it sucks to get reraised.

    if you checked the turn for no other reason than for opp to like his hand then this ios reraise/poosh territory.
