Got my finger on the trigger

Same 1/2 nl foxwoods game
Hero has 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] in the cutoff

The preflop raiser seems to respect big bets when strength is shown on the flop. I haven't seen anyone pop the turn against him (or anywhere) so I am not sure how he would react.

1 limper, villain raises to $13 with ~$275 behind
1 coldcaller, I call (?), one of the blinds calls as does the limper.

Flop (5 players, $66)

Check, check, PFR bets $15, fold, hero calls (?), 2 folds
I'm thinking that his small bet is super weak so if he checks the turn I'll pounce. Especially if I improve my backdoor draws or hit a pair.

Turn (2 players, $96)

Villain bets $25, hero ponders and calls
Now I have what seems to be a +EV call, but I wonder if raising is better. But just what am I representing? And I cannot for the life of me decode this series of small bets.

Played like a fish.
