If you aren't going to value bet the river, what advantage is there to raising rather than calling down?

Well I can think of one. Let's say he has KK or the last two QQ's, and he's weak enough to lay it down on the paired J's when I bet the river. So yes let's say I've found the one loose semi-passive, who likes to make big laydowns.

This is certainly true, but I thought it was too unlikely to be worth considering. Raising the turn may also end up gaining you an extra bet if you river a king, which I suppose is nice. But it also allows him to three-bet you on the turn and I think that is bad enough to offset the rare advantages of raising.
