On the turn the board was pretty draw heavy. The SB also pulled a stop and go on me. Was this a good slowdown or merely weak play?

I say raise that turn, what do you put him on?

With no specific reads, I would raise the turn. There are some draws on the board, but how many that would call a preflop raise? A5 would be the only one I worry about; if you raise the turn and get 3-bet, you may be behind. Of course, he could make the same play with a spade draw.

My guess is that SB has a small-ish overpair- 88 or 99.

I agree, raising the turn would've been the right move in my opinion. As for what would they call my raise with, .25/.50 players are very capable of calling a PFR with 56o [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]. He showed A4 of spades and MHIG (although, he had quite the drawing hand).
