Wasn't sure what to do here on the turn? Raise? Call down? A friend feels that raise is the right play, so just wanna see what others think.

Interesting board, so many possibilities!

I like your play, 2 pair to me is the minimum required to re-raise, but that board is scary now...

I'd probably have tightened up to, since there were 2 callers all the way.

Any thoughts to 3-betting the turn? You probably have the best hand now, but there are a ton of draws out there to dodge. When the 3rd spade comes on the river (which also fills a lot straights) I would probably make a crying call and curse my luck.

3-bet the turn. only a set or A9 can beat you (I'm not putting anyone on AQ here), and it will almost certainly not be capped by anything but a set.

call one one bet on the river draw filler.
