COMMENT:
The villain was playing lag style but it's only a small sample <100. How big a mistake if any was to raise the Turn in position in this situation... He was also cbetting lots of boards previously. Maybe this hand is better to check/raise oop and calling in position against this kind of opponent?

I would just go with calling but I don't think raising is a big mistake. You have some fold equity and in case he calls you have double gutter and a flush draw so it should be fine.

I like the passive play here. Let him bet and just call.

I don’t think raising is too smart with only a draw on the turn and you don’t want to call a potential shove with it as well. Now you even need to fold this hand I think.

Agreed, it's probably a fold after the shove. If he has nutty hands like a set or even a straight both of which would be blocking some of my outs. I just couldn't bring myself to do it since villain was winning quite a few pots without showdown.

We cannot fold if we raise. We have outs and I do not like folding this equity.

I like this more if you are the pre flop caller and not the aggressor PF. After villain donks on the flop and turn, he's generally going to have a stronger range than normal. And, although you have a slight range advantage (you have all sets, same as him, but also all strong 1 pair hands as well, which he does not), I still think this is just a flat call on the turn. You have position, a strong draw, and not too much FE as played (IMO).

However, if it's a situation where villain opens, we call (KJss), flop is T93, he bets, we call, turn is the 7s and he bets again, I like raising a bit more in this scenario (calling is totally fine as well).

We are indeed almost committed with the raise and that’s why raising isn’t great in a spot like this on the turn with a draw only.

cant say i like raise calling off my stack with 30% equity , how much fold equity do we have raising this turn ? probably very little. I prefer calling turn . Once you raise i think you need to call , it's a break even call.
