why does everyone like the flop raise so much?

Because it can either make the 9 or 5 fold, or put the 9 or 5 on the defense so that you can control the next two rounds. It will also put the J into a more passive mode since he could think he is outkicked or against an overpair/set so you put one more SB in in order to check the rest of the hand depending on what your read is. At least that is my guess.

That was my intent of the raise at least, and to also find out if he had a J or not. It's just that I kept betting for an unknown reason. Thus the creation of this post:P
