raising this turn is turning our hand into a bluff..

No way. If he has Qx here, he DEFINITELY calls a raise.

He might call with worse, or with a draw, too.

What makes you think that? If I'm raising the turn, it may look like I slowplayed a very strong hand on the flop (flatcalled to induce more action).

Because he bet half pot twice.

Trust me, he's calling.

He MIGHT fold an 8, though.

Tough to fold the river after you called the turn. I agree with others... I'm probably calling 50% of the time, folding the other 50%. Depends how I'm running [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

We have two players left to act behind us. We're defining our hand enough by flat-calling (which probably looks scary to any solid player).
