Comments on all streets solicited. I found this hand difficult as it presented several issues that I'm currently working on:

I know it's tempting to raise when you improve, but I think I just call the turn bet here. The stop-and-go says either straight, two pair, or flush to me, with the last two being more likely. I'm way ahead of 2 pair, but drawing to 4 outs vs. straight or flush. I think I lose the least and win the most by calling down. (Bet the river if he checks.)
