I think the turn play here is pretty interesting. After reviewing it, I've come up with good arguments for both calling and raising, and am leaning toward raising.
My main issue with raising is the possibility of BB 3-betting and knocking the remaining players out. Though, my read is based on a tiny sample and I have no concrete read on him.
