Floping a decent draw OOP

[mbman]

Overall a pretty tight table. I have been playing extremely tight and have hardly been involved in any pots the last 20 minutes.

PFR is 16/11/2.3 and hasn´t done anything special.
SB is 61/1.5/0.5 and is involved in lots of pots, often trying to steal with small bets it seems like.

What is my best action here?

If I flat call and someone behind me raises, what do I do? Feels sooo weak to fold if that would happen...

If I raise and the guys behind me either call or raise, I am in a pretty damn bad spot if I don´t hit on the turn.

So - what is my best option of the two - call or raise?

usually I would say raise. But I like a call here.

1) the pot is multiway and we should still be able to make some money if it doesn't get raised behind and we catch.

2) if someone raises behind us, then we can 3bet and get the money in there.

3) This line is extremely strong and I would expect to fold out everything except the nuts or a set but by then the odds will be overwhelmingly +EV for us.

Download pokerstove and check out your EQ vs the ranges you might be up against when getting it in here. Youll se that folding here is not an option. In this spot just raise every chance you get and try to earn money from FE, which should be pretty decent considering your image, and that your up against a bunch of nits. Fastplaying draws will also help you fastplaying made hands like sets in the future.

OK....here is what happend..

His weak bet I consider almost a check..but do I raise to get him off his hand or just call here? If he would have checked here instead, should I bet or not?

<font color="red">Hero raises to $7.00</font>, 2 folds, SB calls $5.00

Turn: ($21) 4/images/graemlins/club.gif (2 Players)
<font color="red">SB bets $4.00</font>, Hero.....

Id probably just call the $4, I dont see any fold equity.
