I turned a straight and just called rather than raising. I felt that this was perhaps the wrong move in retrospect. Curious about other peoples thoughts on the hand!

Yeah why not. I guess both options are fine here.

Only a :diamond: would be bad for you on the river and I don’t think it’s bad to call only on the turn. Off course it’s possible he would fold the river if he’s only lead the turn with a draw and he can’t fold these kind of draws if we would raise here.

Cheers,

This is a clear turn raise. You have nuts and the pot is still small. If he folds to your raise, what is there to say he is about to keep barreling on the river if you just call? The board is drawy meaning he has plenty of draws and you can also represent a draw.

You risk your equity give him to cheap a river card that could complete a flush. Because of that I would re-raise turn.
