TP on paired board vs. C-BET. Raise or call?

Defending 65o in the BB is already thin I think. I would normal check/call the flop, because if you raise you get only action of better and you keep his range wider. If you raise you need to fold against a potential 3bet. Don’t forget that he’s betting (1bet) and you could raise (2bet) on the flop. So he can’t 4betting here.

Thanks for your reply.

I would be much happier calling down if my top pair was 9 or higher since a pair of 5 is too vulnerable to any two overs.

But, as you say I think calling is still more profitable than raising in general
After this, I tried to calculate EV(RAISE) vs. EV(CALL) and EV(CALL) > (RAISE)

Also, thank you for clarifying definition of 3/4bet postflop.

The below is the result, but let's not being result oriented

Hero (BB): 1,510 (75.5 bb)
SB: 1,490 (74.5 bb)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 6♥: 5♠:
SB raises to 40, Hero calls 20

Flop: (80) 3♣: 3♥: 5♣: (2 players)
Hero checks, SB bets 60, Hero calls 60

Turn: (200) 4♦: (2 players)
Hero checks, SB bets 200, Hero calls 200

River: (600) 9♥: (2 players)
Hero checks, SB bets 140, Hero calls 140

Results: 880 pot
Final Board: 3♣: 3♥: 5♣: 4♦: 9♥:
Hero mucked 6♥: 5♠: and lost (-440 net)
SB showed J♥: 9♣: and won 880 (440 net)

That’s indeed painful, but well played I think.
