One of many marginal hands

Even if he is behind, a raise is here much better than a call. Calling is almost never right - especially with top pair. Could he be behind? Of course! But how is he going to know that if he doesn't raise? A raise on the flop will give him some respect on the turn. Honestly, I feel that folding is a much better option than calling. I think calling is too passive and will ultimately result in spewing your money all over the place.
