This is a big problem with not raising here. If someone else slowplays 2 pair or a set or A2, and then a card comes that means we no longer have the nuts--which happens fairly often--then we have a big problem, as we have either been passed or it will make it harder to extract value from worse hands.
I am totally open to you disagreeing, this is why I post on here now rather than only read.
To answer your critique though, I don’t expect people to play hands the way that I do in certain spots. My game regulars have proven to me that they’ll repop these pots late to act with two pairs, sets and definitely lower straights.
Part of why I think we disagree is because we likely have different ideas of what the “scare cards” are. I think there’s fewer turn cards that would bother me when I flat here opposed to raise.
There’s also plenty of hands the two players behind us can andnoften have that can call the initial raise, but not a reraise, that are more or less drawing dead to our hand.
