Is this too weak or saving bets?

I meannt bet or raise the turn and call the river bet

A question: he's getting 1:8 on this, but by calling the turn is he basically comitting to showdown? Assuming another bet by villan on the river, he's now getting 1:5 on this showdown.

I don't think there is any way I'm folding here. I've seen too many people try this bluff on me. The problem I see with raising is that if he is bluffing, he'll fold and you gain nothing. If he isn't bluffing, he'll reraise and you're out two bets and don't even get to see the showdown. Also if he is bluffing, you're calling may induce a bluff on the river as well and you can pick up that bet.

This is my first reply to a hand posting. How's my reasoning guys?

I would call getting 8 to 1 with 5 outs at 9 to 1 to improve. That's what I would do in this exact situation while multi-tabling at a hurry, but since I have time to think about it, raising seems a little better. If you call the turn you may be forced to call the river just case he was betting a flush draw. So why not put your two bets in on the turn? This way if a J or A hits the river you can make an extra bet from value betting and still lose the same if you miss.
