I always ask myself what to do in these cases when I'm in the big blind and hit something on the flop.
No read on the opponent.

What you do on every streets? I'm raising on the flop to see if he's on a draw. What you do on the turn? I'm assuming he has a straight or flush draw, but some people just call you down with a made hand. Should I give up on the turn?

I am only raising the flop if this is a standard thing form the sb when HU.

But you aren't HU. So I just call the flop. Turn and river depend on what he bets. I probably wouldn't raise anywhere in this hand.
