why not call the turn and raise-fold a river blank?

I think any line that commits to putting 3 BB into this pot cannot possibly be right. What is a river blank going to do for us anyway? Usually if we're behind we're way behind or at best drawing to a chop against a set. Villain is very unlikely to still be drawing at a gutshot or something. If the river improves anyone it'll probably be the BB because we've let him stay and draw really cheap.

So waiting until the river here to raise sucks.

I also don't really like calling down. And folding seems way too weak.

So I like Evan's raise fold. I think Bobbyi's comment is a good one, but I think that it's pretty rare that we are going to get three-bet by anything but a straight here, so I'm really not that worried about folding a live draw (mostly to half the pot) against a set.
