I think this relates sort of to my example I gave in the first response to this thread. Say 100/200 blinds again. This time we are the raiser (we'll say to 600) and have position. we'll use TPs example, we have 10 10 and the flop is K,9,3 (rainbow for sake). The problem here is the flop wouldnt go check check, Id CB this 95% of the time I think, so itd play out different... but assuming I did check behind him and the turn brings a blank and my opponent bets out 600 lets say, a normal raise would be to 1800.... or we could call and then probably be faced with a 1200 bet again on the river which we'd call....so we'd spend the same 1800..... in this situation I like a raise though. Bc you have position, the raise allows you to take down the pot right there, and even if you dont, if you are not reraised and just called, 95% of the time he'll check the river and you can check behind him or fire out.... so you'll probably get to showdown for the same price either way, but the raise here gives you a chance of takin it down then and there.......

If its the case I gave in my first response, I think just calling is the smarter move

And also typically in most situations on the river, Im raising only if Im very strong, or making a play.
