Villain is 67/12/1.4
Is this an easy raise? Or should I just be calling?

What is your criteria for raising an expensive street to a donk.

Must there be no obvious straights or FD completed etc?
99 is the most obvious possibility given the way the hand played out.

I raised b/c, besides 99, the 9 should only help Q9 and 87 hands which i doubt he would be raising in the first place though there were only 4 people on the table and he is a LAG.

He could be donking with a lot of crap.

96o helps him too, just like 93o. Look at his stats, he could have any hand.

I think it's very close between raising and calling. If you get 3bet, you can't fold to him. If he bluffs, he won't call anyway.

I would just call this. He will fold to your raise some % of the time and you will be 3bet by a better hand another % of the time. I think the risk of being 3-bet outweighs the value of getting one extra bet in with an overpair here.

No raise on a big street with just one pair is easy, but this one is pretty good I think.

My Criteria for raising a big street donk.

1. TPTK or better (goes down with a history of donking)
2. Someone who can't bet/fold a weak pair.
3. No Flush draw came in. ( I probably raise too many straightening boards though)

This situation fits.
