$10 NLHE Full Ring: Do I just call or raise the river?

$10 NL HE Full Ring: Do I just call or raise the river?

I was on bodog in a $.05/$.10 FR & I can't seem to find a HHCT for it so I'll try my best to edit out what I can & go from there. Keep in mind I was only @ the tbl for about 25 hands & witnessed no bad play from these 2 players...

Screen Name/Seat Position/Cards Dealt/Start Amount

Spade Rippa 2
$20.20

JoePa85 5
$8.70

sleeper104 6
$13.20



All 3 of us just limped in ($.10) & seen the flop...


FLOP:

ROUND OF BETTING: sleeper104 led out w/ $.50 & both Joe & I just flatcall

TURN:

ROUND OF BETTING: sleeper104 once again led out w/ a $.50 bet & I called but Joe mini-raised & we both call (I should've re-raised him here but I was thinking he might have hit a set & if the river didn't pair the board, I was going to turn up the heat...

RIVER: (of course the board pairs :argh: )

ROUND OF BETTING: sleeper104 checks, I check, Joe bets $1 & sleeper104 calls $1........ME? CALL OR RAISE?

I knew, I just knew the board was going to pair & that's why I changed my mind on re-raising Joe on the turn. What to do on the river? Hmmmmmm :hmmmm: :hmmmm2: :hmmmm:

Raise, because everyone who plays on bodog sucks. Also, don't give the results to the hand.

EDIT - Raise preflop or fold plz. Limping from what looks like late position is just terrible.

HaHa...whether sarcasm or not, that's good...

Which results did I give? Joe's cards? I didn't say if I called or raised here...

Yeah, you gave your opponent's hands. However, the whole trick to poker is figuring out what range of hands your opponent could have. What's the point in doing hand analysis if I know what your opponents have?

In this scenario, you're afraid of a full house, and that'd be the only reason not to raise (if they would only call your raise with a full house/fold worse). However, 10$ NL on Bodog tends to be REALLY soft, and if I had to guess, these players will pay you off with all sorts of other 2nd best hands. There's certainly value in raising the turn, and the river.
