Greg,
On hand 259, where you turn two pair, and a 2nd flush draw (this one to the nuts) how close do you think calling, vs raising are. Primarily, are you concerned with getting bluffed on the river if you dont improve, or are you concerned that you will be allowing a different draw to hit that you will have to pay off anyway if you miss. I guess the question boils down to the dynamics of the table/a player read. My initial reaction was that calling the turn, planning to value bet good rivers and fold vs a bet on bad ones seemed to be the best way to go.

It was top and bottom and a double FD (nut and 3rd nut):

Given the weak leads by MrGuggenheim, the turn raise is for value + protection. Greg is probably an equity favourite but he could easily be outdrawn.

I think the main arguments should be about the flop call and the size of the turn raise (perhaps a bit small, depending on your read on the meaning of villain's 1/2 pot leads).
