No reads on the SB. On the flop the 3-bet means a pair of eights or a straight/flush draw for me. I don't think he would play 5s that way, so is it wise to raise the turn?
Can I call-down if he 3-bets on the turn?
The river is rather a blank, no flush/straight possible. However, I don't think he'd call my raise here with a busted draw and I would hate to call if he 3-bets.

This line is fine. With no read I'll usually go this way. Against some passive players I'll raise turn because I know I can fold to a 3bet.
