Turn decision ...

I think I played this correctly:

Villain was 15/13 but very aggro. I think calling on the turn is -EV.

I raise the flop. Is this -ev as well in your opinion?

I think so - vs. this type of player ... better hands push and worse hands fold. I've got position.

I flat call the flop. Most people don't like to double-barrel. Some will, but thats fine.

I hate raising the flop for "information." If you raise the flop, very few hands are going to continue that you beat. So if you raise the flop, you fold out bluffs, and you get action from hands that have you crushed (IE overpairs).

Best choice is to call the flop, and re-evealuate turn. Then you can decide if you want to continue with the hand while also reaffirming your read given his turn action.

If his range for the PF raise is AQo+ and PP 22-AA your equity is 55.8%. Should you not protect your hand from overcards hitting?

Sometimes you risk an overcard coming in order to keep the pot managable. That was the case here.
