I think you can raise the five because it creates lots of straight possibility (e.g., any ace now has a gutshot), so there are lots of ways for you to get action from a worse hand. It looks to me like you can raise for value given how often you will extract an extra bet from something you are beating.

Well, i mean, i know you get value out of the raise, but when you raise the turn, is it with the idea of checking behind, or betting on most rivers if checked to? The only reason that i'd think calling rather than raising might be better is b/c the assumption vs. this guy is that he's probably going to bet the river if you just call on the turn. So i guess if you're still likely to have a value bet on the river after raising the turn then it makes sense, but to me it seems that a lot of rivers won't give you great opportunities for getting an obvious value bet.
