I think turn raise if fine, SB is most likely on a draw or has a weak ace.

Looks like a lock hand. I would really think about my bet sizes and figure out how to gradually take this guys money.

The size of the flop raise looks good, he is saying he has an Ace and wants to play it.

I think I raise less on the turn. He is saying he still likes his hand but not that much, plus you leave yourself a trivial amount for a river push. You are only leaving yourself $25 which is saying he has to play for your stack if he calls. I like 35-40 which is a much easier call and almost guarantees getting a call on the river.

I'm the opposite of Doc here. I raise a bit more on the flop, so that I can push the turn. Because Hearts makes up a nice portion of his range. He's nice enough to donk into you on the turn, and I would just push there.

5 players saw the flop! Vey likely SB had a fl-draw. So raise more on the flop.
Your thoughts?

[sdfsdf]

id push turn, he has to expect that you will raise his donk bet

[MightySan]

To DocMartin.
If a lot of players see the flop, any draw on the board should bother you.

like aj says, plenty of times he has hearts or a draw here that we want to raise.
