Preflop: Hero is Button with A/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 3/images/graemlins/heart.gif.
<font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, UTG+2 calls, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, CO calls, Hero calls, SB completes, BB checks.

Flop: (5 SB) 5/images/graemlins/spade.gif, A/images/graemlins/spade.gif, 6/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="#0000FF">(5 players)</font>
SB checks, BB checks, UTG+2 checks, CO checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, SB calls, BB folds, UTG+2 folds, CO folds.

Turn: (3.50 BB) 2/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>

Blind was around 15/9/3, pretty tricky, I wouldn't be surprised if he's betting the turn with a weak ace, a 6, or a draw when I could be trying to steal the flop, and he'd most likely check/raise a good hand, but my first instinct is he has some suited ace. I figured I could raise here, and probably get a showdown for the same cost as calling if I could shut him down, or get an extra bet If my straight or flush draw hits when he has Ax. Am I just putting myself at too much risk of a reraise from a guy with these stats?

I like it because there are no players in between so it's very possible that he thought you were on a steal and is now betting a weaker hand. If there were 2 players in between calling though I think I wuold just call down.

I don't know, but consider switching tables.

I like the turn raise. If he folds then this is fine. He would check-fold the river with nothing anyway. If he is on a draw and semi-bluffs then raising is the correct response. If he has a better Ax hand then you have very good odds to outdraw him and it would be harder for him to put you on a straight or a flush (or aces up) if you make your hand on the river. Don't bet if a spade falls (in case you get C-R-ed)

TP + gutshot + flush draw...very good raise here, especially since you may already have the best hand. Even if you don't, I would count a 3 as full outs, as I don't give him credit for holding a 4.
