Flopped top pair in a multiway hand...

[maniacut]

so you told yourself to value bet UTG but you didn't raise after the flop with tptk?... i think i would raise that flop cuz i think we're ahead to against all but maybe a 10,J ... and i'm calling that turn hoping to spike a Q, A or a J and not be shown 10,J

I dont think you can raise this flop. Sure you're had is probably best, but if you raise here everyone will just call and see the turn with a monster pot. Which would be great if you had AK on a ajx board without a fear of overcards coming, but with TPTK pair of Jacks you have 8 overcards that likely put you behind on the turn with 4 other players in and a heart could sink you. I like the wait for the turn to raise a safe card. On the turn you call and hope for that Q. If a J or A comes you might be good then too, but obviously less likely if that A comes.
