No reads on villian. I've been playing tight aggressive I assume.
Do you raise or just call here?
My thinking, the smallish bet on the flop leading into me looks like a feeler bet with a smaller pair. If I'm right I'm almost a lock to win. I doubt I'll get too much more if I start firing away. Any thoughts?

 considering that our opponent if hes at all tight is likely drawing dead, a call wouldnt be bad but a raise is pretty standard here. A lot of donks bet A high here and what not and may even take A high all the way if there donky enough.

This is a *must raise* to me.

Slowplaying will make you win small or lose big. If villain doesn't have a hand worth calling a flop raise then he's not putting any more money in the pot unless he turns/rivers you.
<Staxalax> Honestly, #flopturnriver is the one thing that has improved my game the most.

 Raise definitely, you want the pot size to explode so the donkey feels inclined to get his stack in with 33. If you call and an A-T comes your action is killed.

Reasons to slowplay are to let villain catchup, in this case there's nothing that deceptive about our hand and a good chance we're caught up to. Bet.
