This is why you should raise the flop instead of waiting for the turn.

Yeah. Raising the turn is just going to be more likely to fold out a worse hand, while flop raises get no respect (rightly so, usually).

I would hate myself if I called down top pair heads up..

Would you raise this turn, then? IMO I should have raised the flop like Jeff said, it's the best way to get paid by UI overs.

Nah, I´m raising the flop, there are too many bad turncards.

[PokerBob]

can't you still raise here and easily fold to a 3-bet?

Yes. Given the turn card I still might raise the river.

I would raise the river here.
