This kind of stuff throws me off a lot of the time. Course I'm going to at least call but..i'm sorry, stuff like this really confuses me when someone decides to bet the river even though you've shown strength on all streets

Raising is a serious option.Tough to do without a read though.I don't mind a call, to get a read.A lot of times, this is a stone cold bluff, and he will fold to a raise, so raising has little value.- Zach

The first time someone bets in to me on the river I will just call to see what he is doing it with, you have TPTK but if he makes it three after you raise that would be a bit too much. You lose no value in just calling, in fact you would be happy if he checked and than called to pay you of on the river. This time he just decided to put his bet in before you could make him.

Don't raise this without a specific read.
