Re: I learn by screwing up (a lesson shared)
I agree that you are much more likely to get his money if you play the hand more slowly. If he has outs against you, he doesn't have many, unless he has 7s9s or 9sJs. If he has this, he is almost always seeing the river at 25NL. It is much more likely that he has a weaker, made hand (considering his turn action).
I prefer a raise to 9 or 10 to punish the potential draws and keep the worse, made hands around that are fishing for quads or a better boat (if they don't still think that they are good). The call opens up a potential river bluff and almost gives villain odds to call for the rest of his stack with a worse hand when he checks and you pot it.
In short, I am not a huge fan of pushing the turn minraise. This allows a certain range of hands to play perfectly by folding, when you may be able to coax them in if you do not push.
