But this river is a clear value raise, right? SB is a moron.

Please raise the turn. Even if you don't have the best hand, which you most likely do... you have a whole field of callers that you can charge for drawing.

I think I would just call the flop.

This hand appears to me to be similar to the SSH Two Overpairs example (not quite as draw heavy, but close).

Raise the turn.

I have to agree. All that you're doing by raising rather than calling to close the action on the flop is fattening the pot even further, which will make more hands correct to call a bet on the turn. Nobody is going to fold for 1 more bet there after having called 1 already.

This looks like one of those hands where you just have to hold on & hope the board stays low. Catching your set on the river was a huge bonus.
