Default What line do you take?

The SB can be tricky but really seems to play poorly postflop with misplaced aggression and has called down with some weak hands. Twice now he has smoothcalled on the flop then checkraised the turn with mid pair.

I'm rethinking it. At 2/4 most turn cr are the real thing. I think I like calling the cr and calling the river. I like 3-betting the turn better than raising the river. I don't really like raising the river though.

Why is 3-betting turn so superior to this line?

A semibluff draw will call. A semibluff draw won't always lead the river, (Although he did). It also might make the river easier to play. If a bad scare card comes you can check behind.

not being result-oriented, but..
can we say that it's better just to call down against a blind who is more likely to have some kind of silly 2 pairs? And we can re-evaluate the situation on the river, if the board pairs for example.

Okay, i don't know why i'm so afraid of loosing bets against a weak hand like some silly nine or a pure bluff against this guy.
