I think it's a blocker bet with like a weaker ace or a (flush) draw..

Villains limp call preflop is about alwas SC or small PP.
Therefor I just call the turn and call the river, or bet/fold river if checked to me.

If he had a set and for some reason chose not to donk bet or c/r me on the flop, don't you think it would be more likely that he would c/r me on the turn rather than lead out?

most likely he's trying to control the size of the pot with A-x, or a flush draw that could've picked up outs like 86cc or 7cXc.
for sure raise for value/protection.

I don't think raising is that obvious because it gives villain an easy choice while OOP. He instamucks any weak hand while when we call he has a hard time on the river.
On the other hand there's certainly merit in raising because of a draw or weaker 2pair.
(I just like raising this flop being villain with a draw because hero pretty much has to muck without an ace.)
In the end I think a raise is better as said for value and charging draws.

i think that lead means either it's time to pull out a Smirnoff Ice and get coolered or else scare away his flush draw by raising (I've been seeing the turn lead OOP w draws more and more... not sure why).

when the vpip's are high and the value bets are like razors, who can be safe?

There's no question I'm definately raising this turn. If he stumbled upon a set of 7s (what's with people floating OOP with a bad PP lately anyway?) good for him. I really don't think that's a set of 5s (as well as A5) just by the way it's played. So I pretty much locked his range on A7, 77, or a draw, I was getting an 86cc vibe. I know there's plenty of other hands but I figured these heavily to be his primary range.
FWIW I pushed, thoughts?

If you put his range on A7, 77 or a draw, then why are you pushing?

I agree, that is why I raise to about $65 here and get the rest in on a safe river.
