I agree in your hand that raising is definetly better than calling. Loose passives are the best sort of opponent to use the free card play against.

In this hand I would play it differently. The trouble with going for the free turn with the flop raise is that very often the opponent is going to donk the turn aswell destroying your play. I prefer to flat call the flop with the option of raising the turn. Sure it's a bit more expensive but there are lots of benefits.

I don't like using the free card play with an obvious draw against TAGs as your hand is so very very readable. I prefer to pump it and just force a fold.
