MY GOD WHAT MORE DO YOU NEED TO RAISE?
YEPPPP. Playing deepstacked nl is all about winning your opponents whole stack when the opportunities arise. In the long run, it is more profitable to win your opponents entire stack less often than it is to squeeze a few extra chips out of your opponent more often. Playing scared of chasing off your opponent with the nuts, and in this particular hand it seems that will not be the case, is not +EV over time.
