I'd call and evaluate what to do on the river. I'm not sure what I accomplish by raising here, since I'm not sure that many worse hands can call if he knows you well. At the same time, after the lack of interest on the flop I think the range for the initial bet can be somewhat wide here. Whether or not I call a river bet depends on the card and on the bet, but I think I usually would.

IMO, he's semi-bluffing a weak pair, a flush draw, or a straight draw, with a straight draw most likely. It's possible he has a weak pair and a straight draw to go with it, or a weak pair, and a flush draw to go with it. If he had hit a King, he would have bet the flop. If his hand was made, he wouldn't have overbet. I'm raising this to 300 to make him pay to draw, and hopefully take it down.

Raise is good. Can't see a reason not to. It's not like he told you you were beat or anything and a cheap turn for him and the other dude doesn't look wise.

I would raise and then most likely check behind on the river.

I like calling turn a lot. High chance he probably checks river to you anyway and get cheap showdown. Keep the pot small.

I agree with the rest of the crew with calling.
