No reads on villian, he is an unknown. Never seen him before.

Is not raising the turn here a mistake?

calls...

I like your line too, since he's betting that riv no matter what. If you're beat its a cooler. If you have the best hand (and he has second / third best / bluffing missed d raw) you get max EV

I would have raised the flop w top pair in a blind battle. If he has you beat, it would have been cheaper.
