The value you get from calling is mostly coming from simply being ahead frequently at this point, but the deeper-stacked you are, the more relevant the 8% chance that you will hit a set on the turn or river becomes.

In very deep-stacked situations or when the C-bet is undersized you may even have the right odds to call purely to hit your 2-outer. Here, I called my opponent's C-bet and was ready to take over the betting if he checked the turn. In fact, he led again on the turn, which was the 8d and I called a second time.

Raising the turn card is worthy of consideration, but there is no need to increase the pot size and most of the hands which call a raise will have me beaten. Calling in position makes sense. If the river card is a high card and my opponent triple-barrels it, I will happily fold, but most of the time I see the turn card, I like to go to showdown in these kind of situations by simply calling again. If the river card is anything other than a 7 and my opponent checks the river, I can check behind, as I am not going to get called by hands that I have beaten.
