Re: Help on this hand please
sry it looks like you did provide some reasoning

A lot of the time I'll raise to buy a free turn (or occasionally fire again, but not against this opp).
Sometimes I'll call, but I really think this telegraphs my hand to AK/AQ.
Is this play standard, or should I be considering other routes?

raising for a free turn card heads up is pretty terrible.
- if you have enough equity to raise the flop you have enough equity to bet most turns and deny villain a free look at the river
- you kill your implied odds for when you improve
- you get charged 3 bets to see the turn when villain reraises (like he did here)
- you set yourself up to be outplayed
calling shouldn't telegraph your hand. you should be taking the flop call line with a mix of draws and made hands
