proof please

I shouldn't have said this. I think it's just as ludicrous to say that one of these two options is clearly better than the other. It depends in part with what other hands I intend to play like this later as well as the villain though that doesn't say much. The two 2ers I checked this hand with were fine with raising the turn.
As for proof, if villain's range includes draws and pairs, I lose nothing when I'm in position and wait for the turn. I earn an extra small bet when he calls down to my turn pop (likely with any J and any 9/8 combo, possible with 9s). I miss a small bet when a scare card comes on the turn and I opt to call down and am still good.(I also save a small bet some of these times).
This assumes that villain fires all turns(obv. wrong but this turn card is a scare card) which I believe is a reasonable assumption. Am I missing something miles or are you just being snoody because my statement was so broadly full of crap?
