I play a mixed strategy between raising and calling 5d here.
Given the fact that I have the nut kicker and no blockers to his draws, I choose to raise it.

If my value range is really thin (5x only), I probably want to make a big bet. Also, he'll probably call any sizing under 2x pot with a 5.
But now he jams, and I'm in a tough spot.
If I never check back a straight or two pair on the flop, I'm at the top of my range. Folding this hand means I'm never calling.
On the other hand: I raised the turn, overbet the river where I've got a polarized range, but he still jams.
Thoughts?
