Villain is a 2+2er ; do you call or raise?

I think raising here is pretty suspicious. You wouldn't play a set/2-pair like that, and if you called the flop with a King why the hell would you raise that scary-as-[censored] turn care, so QT is literally the only hand that got there.

OTOH if Villain has less than AK it's very hard for him to continue. Depends on whether villain has the right combo of hand-reading skill + cojones. Good villains will push a lot of made hands over your raise because your range is heavily weighted to combo-draws that have to call but that he is ahead of, but bad villains will tend to think that pushing only gets called by better hands and folds out draws.
