Flop (7sb)
A 8 5
I bet he calls

Turn (4.5bb)
3

I absolutely hate these spots. I never know what to do when they call the turn. More often than not, I'm barreling the river no matter what it is. Especially if it's an ace or heart. Anyone care to explain how to navigate these spots oop?

I'm usually b/f'ing btw.

It's a tricky spot and depends on histotry imo. Against an unknown I bet fold. Against a someone who bluff raises too much I think bet call/reevaluate or check call could both work. This'll be near the top of your check call range on the turn, so you shouldn't be folding any blank rivers. If he misses river value I'll bet fold a blank.

The most important question is whether or not he waits to raise the turn on boards like this(a pretty good board to do it on imo.) If he waits then I think check call is better.

Wow sb vs btn sucks.
