Hero (HJ): mid 20s asian man; just sat down ($250)
Villain limps in EP and hero makes it $14 in the HJ with J

Villain donks $30. Hero calls. I know this is a loose call but given the "trap mentality" most 1/2 players have I think villain is much more likely to x/c flop x/r turn or just x/r flop with monsters. Plus I got a flush draw with a backdoor straight and can bluff many turns if checked to or villain bets small.
Turn: 7
($86)
Villain bets $30 again. Bingo! This has to be one of those "well-timed aggression" spots right? Villain's bet reeks of weakness cause of the sizing and board texture. No way he's betting that small with a set or two pair. I've got good pot equity and fold equity here imo so should I raise to $100?
