cannot decide between calling and raising. If you just call, you'll probably have to fold on the turn UI. I really would like a free card on the turn.

This is the exact discussion I've been having with a friend of mine today. Calling keeps SB in case we do hit a J or K. Raising gets heads up with BB who likely has piece of the flop, but likely gets us to see the river for free.

I suppose it comes down to equity and pot size considerations in both scenarios?
