Raise flop to 15-20. as played I'm at least calling his turn bet.

that seems pretty strong for not having at least tp

I'd raise flop and shut down if called. I've seen people doing this with 22-88 on this board since they think you have overcards and missed the flop. Most of the time they fold when you raise here. Either way, make a note. It'll come in handy later on.

i'd raise the flop and then shut down if called, probably calling a small river bet

calling the flop is fine, calling the turn is hugely read dependent. I can go either way on it. I probably call once though (on the turn i mean) to try and see a showdown and figure out what he's doing this with

As everyone stated, raise the flop. Villain led really weak, there aren't many draws on flop. He probably has a crappy straight draw, something like 66, or A2, maybe even two overs.

Your line is weak. He's double barreling that turn a lot, because you are folding a lot given flat call on flop.

we're raising for value here, but how much of his range is gonig to continue? i can't exactly put him on naked overcards (which would give us a reason to raise for protection).

i think a pretty strong argument could be made for calling flop/raising turn, or calling both streets, but i'd like to hear some more advocates for raising.
