Default TT in EP and 3-bet from BB

The opponents in this hand were all a bit fishy (loose passive), but not many hands on BB so far.

PokerStars 0.50/1.00 Hold'em (10 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, MP1 calls, <font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, SB calls, <font color="#CC3333">BB 3-bets</font>, Hero calls, MP1 calls, SB calls.

Flop: (12 SB) 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">BB bets</font>, Hero...???

With BB 3-betting pf and leading the flop, I thought that there would be a good chance of his leading the turn.

Also this flop looked as dry to me as it could almost get, being a rainbow with no likely straight draws.

So, would this be a good time to bring out the dreaded slowplay [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img] and call the flop bet, with the intention of raising the turn ?

The + to this play is that you may get overcalls from the 2 loose limpers behind you, with a hand that does not seem to be very vulnerable. You also have position on the BB, and can bet the turn if he only checks.

The - to this play, is that you may simply lose additional bets (by not raising the flop) from the BB if he has an overpair to the flop. AKo would probably also call a flop raise, but might check/fold the turn unimproved.

What do you think ?
