Could we dissect calling vs raising?

I think calling is the better play here.

by calling:
1 - regardless of the card on the turn, if he bets there we can fold, so it costs us less than to raise
2 - we can use scare cards to our advantage by either betting him out of the pot (probably not) or trying to get a cheaper showdown.
3 - we might hit a T on the turn

if we raise we have to put in something substantial, like 350 or something... or does anyone else like a minraise?

i would usually call here rather than raise. one downside to calling flop and folding turn is that villain might fire again with AK, but i think that happens rarely enough that it's not a big deal. the other bigger problem is that villain might hit his AK.
