Default 3-6 HE underground game

i playing in this 3-6 Underground game. Mostly consists of Mortgage Lenders and 2 attorneys. Very nice people and honest, so it isn't shady.

The game is 7 handed.

I UTG who is a tight passive player, sort of reminds me the way I used to play open raises. There are 3 callers and I call with 55 on the button. One of the callers is seated directly to my right. The SB folds, The BB reraises and everyone else calls. I call.

6 of us to the pot with 3 Small bets each

18 SB pot.

The flop is a nice one 5c Td 7h.

BB leads out, UTG calls along with everyone else until the person to my right who doesn't protect his hand very well raises. I see a Ten in his hand and I didn't catch the other card.

before I act, I see the BB looks hungry like wolf like he is ready to reraise

I'm pretty sure I have the nuts at this point but I think the best procedure would be to call and have the BB reraise and then this way he'll lead out on the turn and I can raise them both?

Do you think this is best or should I reraise, because this will get out weak draws?

or what?

anywho I decide to call, the BB reraise automatically and everyone else calls.

NOw do I spring the trap here or do I wait for the turn to srping the trap because he may bet and the rest may call??

What would you do and why.
Please present game theory equations when responding to my question.
If you don't I can't reply back to a simple answer.
Use stated math formulas.
Thank you.

Results to follow in a few weeks when i return from Kennilworth.

Call, the raise on the flop and then assuming it's just the 3 of you, call the BB's 3-bet. Then raise them both on the turn. They'll both call down and that way you win 2 extra BBs from each of them instead of instead on 2 extra SBs.

I'm sorry but I'm not doing any math - you'll just have to trust my experience and intuition on this one.

Honestly, I'd just cap when it got to me. They won't put you on a set. You will get everyone to put in an extra BB, and the big blind will probably just bet his AA on the turn anyway.

No need to overthink this. The pot is huge, your hand is almost certainly good just keep on raising until they won't let you anymore. For all you know hungry to raise guy will cap and lead turn.

I don't like most of the advice you're getting. Raising right away is the sort of play I'd make online, but in a live game where you can see that BB is eager to 3-bet you can make this cool call for a slowplay. You are indeed likely to be best and stay that way, and there aren't too many scare cards to kill your action. It's possible UTG is chasing AK, so even overcards could get you paid.

Take it easy on the flop, raise the field on the turn.

My default line here is to just three bet the flop and not mess around. But given your reads, I think its reasonable to smooth call flop and pop the turn
