FWIW, though, if your read on Villain is that he'll probably fire again on the river no matter what he has, then I think flat calling is better than checkraising.

I agree. Its pretty much a question of the size of your balls. You can raise the turn and shut down the hand, taking a nice profit, or you can call the turn and let him hang himself on the river - but you'll have an iffy call when a broadway flops.

I feel you, every time I let someone hang themselves by calling them down with a pocket pair, they hit on the river.
Although I guess getting them to bluff along the way should be +ev..
