Default Re: Nonstandard with TPTK?

I don't know what's 'standard' but in a 3-way hand w/ the players you describe I'd rather raise the flop on that board. I just think it plays better. The flop is dangerous for you and a flop raise will sometimes win it right there, it might fold one of the players, 'freeze' and scare the other, and allow you to win w/ a turn bet regardless of what comes. That's why I like playing live. I can see the reactions of the other players. This is also my personal preference which I've found works for me so I've laid out my thoughts but I look forward to other perspectives.

Good fold, btw, and another reason I like raising this type of flop 3-ways. It's cheaper. You shook the info out of the loose guy and probably saved some money.
