Opponent is loose and aggressive. Is a turn raise better here or is this pretty standard.

And Praetor, since you respond to like every one of my hand posts so you'll probably see this, let me just say thanks for answering my zillions of "is this standard?" questions lately! I just haven't been doing well lately, so I'm questioning a lot of my "standard" plays.

This looks fine. You might put in a vb or ~15-20 on the river but I'm happy getting to SD against crazy LAG's who'll c/r the river with a flush etc.

And no I would not raise the turn. You aren't sure you have the best hand and if he's bluffing there's no need to raise.

I don't think that's too passive. All you have is one pair and I think you're going to win a decent sized pot. That's how I play a lot of c-bet hands when I catch on the turn, I don't get too excited and lose or win a bunch of chips.
