Re: When unsure, you should..?

Why raise? First off, I didn't have a clue what I should do here. I felt it would be very weaksauce to call or fold. I also thought he might have a small-mid PP that a raise might be able to fold. I don't see any play beside fold/raise being any good & I prefer to be more LAG than TAG.

You would raise for two reasons, for value or as a bluff. If this guy is a typical weak player, he's calling down with anything you want him to fold. So you're not bluffing him off. C/cing through the river costs the same as raising the turn, and if you have him beat he's probably drawing very thin and might fold to a raise, but make another stab at the pot on the river. I just don't think you have many holdings beat here.
A10 and AK are the only nonpair hands you're likely to beat, and if the guy is donking the turn on this board with a lower PP, he probably isn't capable of folding it. You're also very likely reverse dominated or drawing thin (to a 10) or dead. Save your money(?)
