Yeah, I agree that this one is by far the closest, set. I advocated a calldown because it seems like the vast majority of questions of this nature are against an unknown, which makes me usually want to pay off. Plus IMO it's better to have a calldown as the baseline for a newer player learning to make good folds rather than vice versa. Since it's much more situation-dependent, it may not belong on this list though.

ok couple things

I play a lot at 3/6, 5/10 where turn raises are common occurences, but still manage a lot more 1/2 6max, 2/4 full than I prob should .. because the limits are relaxing, partly because the money factor is not there, a terrible day at 1/2 is just a meh day at 5/10, and the other reason is because I don't get faced with tough decisions on the turn very often.

the majority of the time its Raise PF, bet, bet, bet or Raise PF bet, bet, check .. and since the average player tends to be weak/passive getting popped on the turn is usually a bad thing, especially since c/call, c/r is the preferred line for a set by a donkey.

Overpairs and TP have a couple distinct differences

1. Overpairs will almost always have more outs vs 2pair, 8outs is common, TP will often have just 3outs, occasionally 6 or 9

2. Overpairs always have 2outs vs a set, TP is drawing dead

as for wanting to payoff and see, let the donkeys do that for you, calldown if you are getting a good price or feel that you are being targeted, but generally you should have a decent feel for the player that is raising you on the turn, and should adjust accordingly. players bounce around too much to want to make a -EV call for a read, since there are too many ppl at these limits, and they tend to not stay at the table for long periods of time

I feel like I have a bunch more to say but can't figure out how to word it a way I like, I'll think about it more, and prob add on later tonight
