Does anyone want to raise?

I pretty much always raise there. I almost always see a draw or weak top pair when they donk the turn like that.

The problem I have with raising is it pretty much has to be a shove. It's $12 to us with $52 in the pot and we have only $81.50 behind. This villain doesn't seem bad enough to call off with his flush draws getting about 2-to-1 so even if he's calling with a few hands we beat mostly if we get called we're way behind. And I'm not sure TT is worth raising for protection.

Damn this hand is tricky. I liked calling the turn because I don't want to fold and I don't like raising (for the reasons noted above) but then villain shoves on a J [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] river and I said fold getting almost 2-to-1 which also sucks.

I think Devin had it right: call turn, call river shove unless it's a bad card.
