When Should I Raise?

This is hand #19 and my seventh raise on the button. It is Villain's 3rd 3B. Previous 3Bs were from 60 to 140. This time was a min3B.Should I be raising this hand on the Flop or the Turn? I feel that he will double barrel much of the time. No Limit Holdem Tournament • 2 Players$22+$1Hand converted by the official HUSNG.com hand converterSBHero1280 BBSULZBACHMM1720 Effective Stacks: 64bbBlinds 10/20

I think you played the hand

I think you played the hand good qattack, if you now he is gonna second barrel a ton like you say its nice to pick up those chips by letting him barrel away,The board is somewhat wet but shouldnt hit his 3bet range, if its a standard value 3bet range, so the only hands we a scared of here are AK, AQ and AA.

I think this is well played,

I think this is well played, you should get enough action from weaker hands on average.Now, what could change the turn decision from a raise to a flat call?  Probably some significant "he fires barrels with air a ton and just tries to push me off of hands" type read.  In which case, the stack sizes line up well enough to flat call (I think around a 900 chip pot with ~800 chips behind) the turn and pick up river bluff value.There is also some merit to flatting to protect your hand from stronger hands, but that's more common against a very tight and/or very passive bettor that isn't likely to bluff much.But in most cases, I think you played this well.
