Alright this hand was really confusing for me looking for suggestions. When he bets the turn big after checking the flop his range is probably pair + flush draw at the bottom and sets and JT/65 at the top. I decided to just flat it because I thought that the only part of his range that i'm beating and could potentialy play for stacks on the turn is 88/77 . I could also get shoved on if i raise which puts me in a world of pain .I felt like he would just fold worse in this spot too often and and decided to flat it. Thoughts?

Raise Turn.

It looks like BB raises turn with a straight. Flatting is better, as for me. Nice play.
